Scientific paper

We propose to observe the old open cluster M 67 to study its population of X-ray emitting objects. On the basis of our ROSAT campaigns we expect to see a variety of objects. Many of these are stars currently undergoing tidal interaction, or that have interacted tidally in the past. Some may be rapidly rotating stars that are the product of a merger. These objects are X-ray sources because of a very specific type of binary evolution, and by studying these special systems in optical follow-up we can study little-understood details of stellar evolution and of binary evolution. This provides new information on initial parameter distributions of binaries in a well defined population.
