periodic brightness change of a star caused by its reflex orbital motion, which relativistically boosts its flux toward the observer.

In astrophysics, Doppler beaming refers to periodic brightness change of a star caused by its reflex orbital motion, which relativistically boosts its flux toward the observer. This meaning comes from Loeb (2003) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
