They represent mankind's only direct source of knowledge of the absolute dimensions of stars.

They have told us a great deal about the mass of many stars especially those bigger than the Sun and they represent a gold mine of information about the internal structure, composition and mechanical properties of stars. Why are binary stars so important? Well, basically, it simply because it you are observing just a single star you have very little to work with. All you see i-- a point of light that puts out a certain spectrum of colors and radiation, but you certainly observe details of the stellar surface because stars are just too far away. But if you have two stars close together, all kinds of possibilities open up. As the two revolve a round each other, both will he di'tortcd huge tides will form on their surfaces because of the intense gravitational fields that are present.

These tides and many other effects will be reflected in the pattern of light variation that an as tronomer will see here on Earth. It is very difficult to unravel all of the processes going on in eclipsing binary Imagine trying to un derstand the hehav mr of two tremendously distorted glowing spheres, inside of which complicated nuclear reactions are going on while electric and magnetic fields twist and turn through great clouds of ionized, electrically charged gas. The work on eclipsing binaries started back in 1880 and now it involves all manner of complex, mathemati cal tables and computer techniques Difficult though it I-, the game is still definitely worth playing as far as scientists arc concerned. The results have given man much of his understanding of the fascinating points of light that soften the night and the bright hall that lights the dav.
