A Contact Binary Misclassified as an Ellipsoidal Variable: Complications for Detached Black Hole Searches
Identifying sources exhibiting ellipsoidal variability in large photometric surveys is becoming a promising method to search for candidate detached black holes (BHs) in binaries. This technique aims to exploit the orbital-phase-dependent modulation in optical photometry caused by the BH distorting t...
