Rotation in binary stars.
Abstract
Rotational velocities and MK Spectral types were determined for the primaries and secondaries of 59 visual binaries and for 88 spectroscopic and eclipsing binaries (Levato, 1974). With this material and the data found in the literature some rotational properties and the synchronism problem have been rediscussed.
