[vsnet-chat 3760] Duration of eclipses

[Sebastián Otero <varsao@fullzero.com.ar>]

Hello all:
               I've got a question, and I know some of you can help me:

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A SECONDARY ECLIPSE (I mean  a "brighter" eclipse) LASTS
LONGER THAN A PRIMARY??
              There's still a long way to go, but that's what I get by
looking at the visual observations of delta Velorum I have...
Maybe we are calling "primary" the secondary eclipses... or maybe
observational error was greater than expected, but the question still
remains.

THANKS TO ALL,

Sebastian.
