\paragraph{}  The authors find that the number of observed eclipsing binaries scales directly with the input frequency of short-period orbits. For example example,  although typically less than 1\% of eclipsing FG systems show 1.5 mag eclipses, the ratio at the shortest periods is closer to 20\%. The situation is more complex for higher mass sytems although the authors find humps with high probability of deep eclipses at about 2 day and 0.4 day orbital periods. \paragraph{}     A sample figure showing eclipse probabilities for FG stars on the main sequence has been reproduced here below.
