On the link between coronal activity and orbital period in evolved binary stars.

MELO C.H.F. and DE MEDEIROS J.R.

Abstract (from CDS):

The analysis of the relationship between X-emission flux and orbital period indicates a drop in the X-ray emission of binaries with evolved components at orbital periods of about 100 days: Intense X-ray emitters have an orbital period lower than 100 days, whereas with an orbital period greater than about 100 days are weak X-ray emitters. This critical period corresponds to the orbital period separating binary systems with circular orbits from those of eccentric orbits.
