A Review of The O--C Method and Period Change
Abstract
Description
The classical O--C curves are discussed in different cases in which various period changes involved. Among them, the analytic O--C curves with frequency, amplitude modulations and with double modes are closely inspected, respectively. As a special, the light-time effect is illustrated. The features of period change noise and period change to metallicity are added at the end.
