Blimey you are out of date. Have you not heard of Fox's paper?

J.G. Fox, "Evidence Against Emission Theories"- American Journal of
Physics, Volume 33, #1, Jan. 1965 states:

"Thus it cannot be argued that the data on binary stars provides support
for the emission theory [source dependency]. However it does seem,
contrary to what has been believed for several decades, that the data on
binary stars does not offer any evidence against emission theory".


Blimey, you are out of date! Check refereed citations of Fox's paper:

Is the Speed of Light Independent of the Velocity of the Source?

Abstract

Recent observations of regularly pulsating x-ray sources in binary star
systems are analyzed in the framework of the "emission" theory of light.
Assuming that light emitted by a source moving at velocity v with respect to
an observer has a speed c'=c+kv in the observer's rest frame, we find that
the arrival time of pulses from the binary x-ray sources implies k < 2×10-9.
This appears to be the most direct and sensitive demonstration that the speed
of light is independent of the velocity of the source.
