Light curves computed for System 2 at the various evolutionary points marked in Fig. 4, at inclinations of i = 30°, 60° and 90°. Top panel: Light curves from the contact phase (green region in Fig. 4), where the cyan light curve represents the dominant type of CB expected from models, i.e., one which has acquired temperature equalization. Bottom panel: Light curves during the near-contact phase CB (pink striped region in Fig. 4), which is further split as a semi-detached (red and orange light curves) and detached system (cyan light curve). Also labeled are the relative eclipse depths, f_ΔA, except for ELL binaries, which have an f_ΔA of the order of 0.001.
