Multiband light curves of nine black-widow pulsar companions are fitted with a direct-heating model, giving distances, inclinations, and heating powers that often exceed the observed gamma-ray luminosities, suggesting beaming corrections, distance errors, or missing physics.

Multiband Optical Light Curves of Black-Widow Pulsars
Multiband light curves of nine black-widow pulsar companions are fitted with a direct-heating model, giving distances, inclinations, and heating powers that often exceed the observed gamma-ray luminosities, suggesting beaming corrections, distance errors, or missing physics.
