The new RS CVn binary V1034 Her revisited and the orbital period — activity relation of short-period RS CVn binaries using photometric distortion amplitude

VLA multifrequency observations of RS CVn binaries

We present multiepoch Very Large Array (VLA) observations at 1.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 8.5 GHz and 14.9 GHz for a sample of eight RS CVn binary systems. Circular polarization measurements of these systems are also reported. Most of the fluxes observed are consistent with incoherent emission from mildly relativistic electrons. Several systems show an increase of the degree of circular polarization with ...

A NON-EMPIRICAL ROTATION-ACTIVITY RELATION FOR RS CVn BINARIES USING RADIO LUMINOSITIES

An analysis of a comprehensive survey of radio luminosities for RS CVn binary systems is given. A comparison is made between the rotation-activity correlations found using the usual semi-empirical Rossby number and a Rossby number deduced from detailed convection zone models. The use of a non-empirically derived Rossby number does not signiicantly improve the rotation-activity correlation. Alth...

Quiescent and Flaring Structure in Rs Cvn

Musicos 1998: Optical and X-rays Observations of Flares on the Rs Cvn Binary Hr 1099

We present simultaneous and continuous observations of Hα, Hβ, Na i D1, D2 and He i D3 lines of the chromospherically active binary HR 1099. We have observed HR 1099 for more than 3 weeks almost continuously and monitored two flares. An increase in Hα, Ca ii H & K, Hβ, Hei D3 and Hei λ6678 and a strong filling-in of the Nai D1, D2 and Mgi b triplet during one of the flares are observed. We have...

Musicos 1998: Observations of Rotational Modulation and Flares on the Rs Cvn Binary Hr1099

We present simultaneous and continuous observations of Hα, Hβ, Na I D 1 , D 2 , He I D 3 and Ca II H & K lines of the chromospherically active binary HR 1099. We have observed HR 1099 for more than 3 weeks almost continuously and monitored two flares. An increase in Hα and Ca II H & K, Hβ and He I D 3 and a strong filling-in of the Na I D 1 , D 2 during the flares are observed. We have found th...
