Spectroscopic and Photometric Studies of an X-ray–Selected Sample of Chromospherically Active Binary Stars1

  • Robert P. Stefanik (a1), Laurence A. Marschall (a2) and Harold L. Nations (a3)
Extract

Data from the Einstein X-Ray satellite continue to provide useful information for studies of x-ray emitting objects. The Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS), a tabulation of serendipitously discovered point sources from the Einstein database, included a number of objects which were identified, on the basis of spot sampling of optical spectra, as likely binary star systems (Fleming 1988, Silva et al. 1987; Takalo & Nousek 1988). Because the sample is limited primarily by X-ray flux, the physical characteristics of these stars are of considerable interest for understanding the origins of stellar activity among cool stars.
