Testing Magnetic Braking: The X-ray Activity of M Dwarfs in Pre-Cataclysmic Variable Systems
Briggs, K.R.; Napiwotzki, R.; Maxted, P.F.L.; Wheatley, P.J. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)Angular momentum loss by magnetic braking is believed to be an important mechanism in the evolution of tidally-locked white dwarf (WD) bina- ries. We measure the X-ray emission of a sample of M dwarfs in pre-cataclysmic ...
