Is there a Connection Between Non-Synchronous Rotation and X-Ray Emission in Massive Binary Systems?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
A correlation between orbital period and log(LX/Lbol) is found for a sample of B-type binary systems. We suggest that wind-wind collisions are the likely mechanism for generating the X-ray emission, and that the mass-loss rates may be enhanced in non-synchronously rotating systems due to the oscillations that are excited by the tidal forces.
