Eclipsing Binary Stars, Mass Ratios, Stellar Mass, Light Curve, Statistical Distributions

Scientific paper

An examination is undertaken of data on the primary eclipses of eclipsing binaries, including their comparison with such corresponding theoretical distributions as those proposed by Halbwachs (1981). These comparisons, corrected for observational limitation effects, suggest that decreasing mass ratio distributions are unrealistic in predicting too great a number of low amplitude binaries. It is noted that the present findings offer significant independent support to the growing evidence for an initial true distribution of close binary mass ratios that is strongly peaked at near-unity.
