What Can We Learn about Contact Binaries with the Help of Far UV and X-Ray Observations?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2016
Extract
The IUE and Einstein satellites have changed the clean and simple contact binary (W UMa-type) surface to a more “dirty” one where spots, flux tubes, coronal loops, flares etc. disturb the stellar image. The situation is, of course, the same for many other active stars as well. Here we discuss some aspects of this increased activity which may be relevant for the contact binary evolutionary theory.
