X-Ray and Ultraviolet Observations of the Eclipsing Binary V471 Tauri with XMM-Newton: X-Ray-Cycles, Eclipse Timings and Further Evidence of a Substellar Tertiary Companion

Guinan, Edward; Engle, Scott; Ribas, Ignasi +2 more

Few stars offer as much toward understanding fundamental aspects of stellar astrophysics and binary star evolution than the eclipsing binary V471 Tauri (DAZ+K2V; P = 12.52 hr). V471 Tauri (Tau) is the product of common-envelope binary evolution and a pre-cataclysmic variable. X-ray and UV (291 nm) observations were secured with XMM-Newton over ~ 6…

Kargaltsev, Oleg; Yang, Hui; Hare, Jeremy +2 more

We present a catalog of X-ray Detected Be Stars (XDBS) with 161 Be stars from the Be Star Spectra (BeSS) database having X-ray counterparts in the Chandra Source Catalog v2.0, XMM-Newton 4XMM-DR11 Catalog, or Swift 2SXPS Catalog. The multi-wavelength catalog includes accurate optical positions, X-ray properties (fluxes, photon indices and hardness…
