Henri Wilson has taken down his original image and replaced it with another image
which has been considerably modified, so I can't provide a link to his original.
On Jan 3, 2007, Henri Wilson posted a link to the following graph of the luminosity and radial velocity (Doppler shift) curves of the Cepheid variable RT Aurigae as predicted by his variant of emission theory, which he calls BaTh (i.e. Ballistic Theory).

Concerning the above image, Henri Wilson wrote: "The brightness curve matches RT Aur almost perfectly. The blue curve shows the radial velocities at the source. The red curve is the velocity curve we should see. The phase difference is only about 50 degrees, not 90 as Jeery the crank claims. If you draw the right curve through the points shown on the RT Aur velocty graph, you will see the brightness curve leads the velocity curve by not much less than 50....and the author admits it is very approximate." http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/f5fca706eecf22e5
The brightness curve data that Henri has fit is from Duncan (1909) as published by C. Johnson (2003) in the following web site: http://mb-soft.com/public2/cepheid.html
Over Henri's predicted radial velocity curves, I have superimposed the best-fit curve to Duncan's radial velocity data, as posted on Johnson's web site. The bottoms of the radial velocity curves represent maximum radial velocity towards the Earth (i.e. the Cepheid is increasing in radius), while the tops of the radial velocity curves represent maximum radial velocity away from the Earth (i.e. the Cepheid is decreasing in radius).
It should be quite evident that there is absolutely no resemblance between Henri's predicted curves and the measured radial velocities.
The green line represents Henri's computed brightness curves. Henri claims, and in fact does achieve, a somewhat close match to the actual visual luminosity curves, which is only to be expected given the number of adjustable parameters in Henri's model with which he fit the data.
Henri claimed that the phase difference between his predicted radial velocity peak and the luminosity peak is about 50 degrees. This is, of course, a completely false claim. In Henri's posted illustration, I measure approximately a one-third cycle (119 degrees) phase lag between Henri's radial velocity peak and the luminosity peak. The original Sekerin model on which Henri based his modified ballistic theory of variable star behavior predicted a 90 degree phase lag between the radial velocity peak and the luminosity peak. http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/binarie2.htm
In contrast, the phase lag measured from Duncan's radial velocity data is approximately 16 degrees. See also the more recent data in Bappu and Raghavan, 1969. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1969MNRAS.142..295B
Note that Henri did not provide a velocity scale. There is no indication that Henri's theory is capable of providing even a rough estimate of the magnitude of the measured Doppler shifts, much less their phasing.
After I pointed out to Henri the massive discrepancies between
his radial velocity prediction and the measured radial velocities, he wrote
back, "Sorry Jerry, my mistake. I have left out a pi/2 in the velocity
graph. Will get back to you on this. I was so preoccupied with explaining
to Androcles that I CAN produce observed velocity curves that I made this
glaring mistake. I knew something didn't add up...but getting all these angles
right is pretty complicated stuff, I can assure you."

Henri took down his original plots, replacing them with this:
Superficially, the radial velocity curve does look somewhat improved... but look at what has happened to the luminosity curve! Furthermore, Henri still refuses to provide a velocity scale. There is still no indication that Henri's theory is capable of providing even a rough estimate of the magnitude of the measured Doppler shifts, much less their phasing.
After several iterations of seeming improvement in Henri's curve fit, Henri finally admits to FRAUDULENT DEALINGS
"Well I'll now let you in on a little secret.""The original one I gave was the correct BaTh prediction. The phase
difference is more like 100....and I have double checked the program. What has
me stumped though is the fact that to match the published one, I had to
introduce a factor of exactly pi/2 to the yaw angle...now that is really
interesting."
