Generation of X-ray and ratio emission by binary Wolf-Rayet stars
Description
The supersonic flow of the ionized gas in WR+OB binaries and X-ray generation are considered. X-ray emission is caused by gas heating up to temperatures of 107 - 108K behind the front of shock waves which are formed in the collision of gas flowing out from the WR star with either the OB star's surface, or the gas of the OB star's wind. The distribution of hot gas temperature and concentration behind the shock front are obtained. Using these distribution, the spectral power of bremsstrahlung X-ray emission of hot gas is calculated. The probable nature of the WR star non-thermal radio emission is also discussed. (author). 12 refs.; 1 fig
