Abstract:
We report the results of a complete X-ray survey of the Hyades cluster
region using the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). Our survey covers over
900deg2 of the sky. Over 185 optically identified Hyades were
detected down to a limiting X-ray luminosity of ∼1-2x1028ergs/s
(0.1-1.8keV); among solar-like stars, i.e., main-sequence stars of
spectral type G, the RASS detection rate is ∼90%. The presence of many
binary systems in the cluster is a key factor influencing the X-ray
luminosity function. Short-period (∼ a few days or less) binaries are
anomalously X-ray bright, as might be expected; however, the X-ray
luminosity functions of K and possibly M binaries of all types are
significantly different from their single counterparts, confirming the
results of Pye et al. (1994MNRAS.266..798P 1994MNRAS.266..798P) for a smaller K star
sample drawn from deep ROSAT pointings. Comparison with Einstein
Observatory studies of a subset of Hyades stars demonstrates a general
lack of significant
(> a factor of 2) long-term X-ray variability. This may be the result
of the dominance of a small-scale, turbulent dynamo in the younger
Hyades stars compared to the large-scale, cyclic dynamo observed in
the Sun.
