Periods of Unevolved Late-Type Close Binaries: Evidence of Magnetic Activity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Our study of the period distribution of about 200 FGKM-type unevolved close binaries has revealed a strong deficit of short-period systems.This finding may be connected with the occurrence of a very efficient mechanism of orbital angular momentum loss via magnetic braking by stellar wind, in the earliest evolutionary phases.
