Eclipse Coverage of the RS CVN Star: AR LAC
Abstract
We propose to observe the eclipsing active RS CVn binary AR Lac at various phases of its orbit to unambiguously determine the spatial distribution and intensity of chromospheric activity in this system. The observation will be concurrent with similar observations by HEAO-2 and the VLA, and should allow detailed modelling of the active upper atmospheres. This work should give a much clearer physical picture of ..;hat is happening in RS CVn systems, with implications for the physical understanding of these active systems as well as the general chromospheric-coronal phenomonon.
