A Connection between the Morphology of the X-Ray Emission and Rotation for Solar-Type Stars in Open Clusters

Abstract

It is suggested that the three-segmented morphology of the soft X-ray emission from cluster and field stars may be understood in terms of the recent classification of rotating stars into three kinds: those lying on the convective sequence, on the interface sequence, or in the gap between them. This is paper 14 in the WIYN Open Cluster Study.
