Abstract
In very close detached binary system the absorption of irradiation could be significant influence on the light curve observed. The absorption of the irradiated component leads to temperature inhomogeneity on the surface of a star. This temperature inhomogeneity will give rise to the distortion to the light curve and it is also the source of the baroclinic atmosphere. In this paper we calculate this effect on the surface of secondary component in a very close detached binary system consisting of a spherical primary and a Roche potential geometry secondary component.
