roche tomography: assumptions back to top



synchronously rotating Roche-lobe filling secondary star in a circular orbit
shape of intrinsic line profile remains unchanged
line profile is due to secondary star light only
secondary star exhibits no intrinsic variation during observation
orbital period, inclination, stellar masses, limb darkening, intrinsic line profile and systemic velocity
map of maximum entropy (relative to an assumed default image) which is consistent with the data
