Results from an extensive Einstein Observatory survey of B-type stars
Abstract
A summary is presented of the results of an analysis of a recently compiled catalog of the 0.16-4.0 keV emission from 1545 B-type stars, taken from the Smithsonian-Astrophysical-Observatory Star Catalog (Roman and Warren, 1984), falling in the about 10-percent of the sky surveyed with the Einstein Observatory imaging proportional counter. The available information made it possible to identify a pseudovolume-limited sample containing about 54 percent of the surveyed stars and 87.5 percent of the detected ones.
