On x radiation of double systems containing Wolf-Rayet type stars

  • 1. AN SSSR, Moscow. Inst. Kosmicheskikh Issledovanij

Description

It is shown that the close binary systems must be rather intensive sources of X radiation one or both components of which are young massive stars with strong outflow of matter from them (Wolf-Rayet type stars and OB supergiants). X-radiation of such binary systems is stimulated by gas heating behind the front of shock waves formed as a result of collision of gas outflowing from one component either with the second star surface or with its magnetosphere or with gas outflowing from the second star. The most possible candidates of X-ray sources among double Wolf-Rayet stars are γ2 Vel and V 444 Cyg
