X-ray emission from RS CVn systems: a progress report.
Abstract
A report is given on progress made in a search for soft X-ray emission from RS CVn systems, using the low-energy detectors aboard HEAO 1. To date, nine systems have been seen. The properties of these systems are discussed. The failure to detect certain systems is considered. The possibility is discussed of discovering hitherto unknown RS CVn systems with soft X-ray observations.
