| Abstract: | The observation of apsidal motions in eclipsing binaries is a very rewarding area of research which requires only moderate or small telescopes equipped with a photoelectric photometer. Important contributions can be made to the study of stellar internal structure through these observations, as well as the verification of the theory of general relativity using the equations of orbital motion. The main objectives of such an observational effort are described, together with a list of candidate binary systems. An appeal to photometrists with small telescopes around the world is made to observe these eccentric and well-detached eclipsing binaries. |
