| Abstract: |
We present preliminary results obtained from modeling of light curves
of a sample of contact binaries observed by the Kepler spacecraft.
Our study was aimed at verifying which of the three most commonly
used limb-darkening formulations fits the high quality
Kepler data the best. We limited our work to twelve binary systems
showing flat-bottomed minima, and we found that for ten of them the square
root limb-darkening law
led to
the best fits. |
