Spectroscopic binaries in the open cluster NGC 2516
Creators
Description
A limited study of the radial velocities of the 16 brightest early-type stars in NGC 2516 yields approximate periods for six binaries. Tidal interaction in that number of binaries is insufficient to explain the low mean rotational velocity obtained for the cluster stars, but allowance for the additional Ap stars, in which decreased rotation by magnetic braking may have occurred, does account for the low rotational velocities.
