Optical Circular Polarization of X Persei

THE possible identification 1 of X Per with the X-ray source 2 2ASE 0352+ 30 has stimulated interest in other properties of the star. In addition to detailed observations of the optical spectrum by Crampton and Hutchings 3 , attempts to observe radio emissions 4 of the object at 21 cm have yielded n...

Zusammenfassung:THE possible identification 1 of X Per with the X-ray source 2 2ASE 0352+ 30 has stimulated interest in other properties of the star. In addition to detailed observations of the optical spectrum by Crampton and Hutchings 3 , attempts to observe radio emissions 4 of the object at 21 cm have yielded no positive results. An attempt by Baud and Tinbergen 5 to observe circular polarization in visible light showed no component greater than 0.02 of the total intensity.
