Scientific paper

A brightening variability in the light curve during the secondary minimum of the total eclipse of ZZ Pegasus was analyzed to discover this eclipse brightening occurs in many systems. It was first reported by Kudzej (1987) as mid-eclipse brightening but in this attempt to give a qualitative explanation it has been discovered that the bright-ening does not occur at mid-eclipse, nor at every secondary minimum and its relative brightening to the light curve is variable. Eclipse brightening reported in twelve systems and discovered in six other light curves is reviewed. Three explanations are examined as causing the brightening, microlensing, gravitational lensing and refracted electromagnetic radiation.
