Light Curves of Binary Stars
Interactive binary star system simulation with real-time orbital mechanics and light curve visualization. Explore eclipsing binaries, orbital parameters, and the relationship between orbital geometry and observed light variations.
Live Simulation
Adjust the orbital parameters to explore different binary star configurations. Watch how changes in mass, radius, period, and orbital geometry affect the light curve.
Educational Impact
This interactive simulation demonstrates the fundamental principles of binary star systems, orbital mechanics, and light curve analysis — essential tools in modern astrophysics for understanding stellar properties and evolution.
