Ultraviolet observations of close binary stars
Abstract
Far ultraviolet observation of three interacting binary stars (HR 2142, HR 7084, and lambda Tauri) made with the Copernicus satellite during 1978-79 are presented. All stars exhibit evidence of a gas stream and extensive mass outflow from the system. Physical parameters, derived for the gas stream in HR 2142, are essentially within the range predicted from theoretical calculations.
