Rotational Correlation in Binary Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A method for testing the possible correlation between axial rotations of pairs of stars is developed. The test is applied to a sample of visual binaries. It is concluded that some kind of coupling between the spins of components of visual binaries does in fact exist.
