About the Author :
Andrej Prša is a Slovenian astrophysicist who obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Ljubljana in 2005. The principal result of his doctoral thesis was PHOEBE (PHysics Of Eclipsing BinariEs), a modeling suite for binary stars that has since become one of the standards in the binary star community. Prša is passionate about his subject and he is a dedicated teacher and astrophysicist whose research and work is a huge asset to the astronomical community.

Review :
Don’t let the (sub-)title of this book mislead you into thinking it’s a user guide for a specific piece of software — it’s much more than that. It is a comprehensive overview of the astronomy and astrophysics of eclipsing binary systems, covering the full range of observational inputs (not just spectroscopy and photometry, but also polarimetry, astrometry, and interferometry, all of which are of growing importance); the theoretical background (building up from the basic Roche model); and practical modelling considerations, including a thorough and pragmatic discussion of parameter-optimization methods. The writing style is a pleasing combination of technical precision and easy readability; the book has all the authority of an author steeped in the details but conscious of the needs of a broader readership. Good use is made of colour in many figures (even if it seems gratuitous in some, and lacking in others), and overall production standards are high. This book can be warmly recommended to anyone with a passing (or greater) interest in eclipsing binary stars. It will sit alongside Hilditch’s Introduction to Close Binary Stars on the small section of my bookshelf that I can reach easily from a sitting position. Ian D.
