The binary systems Sigma CrB, SZ Psc, HR 1099, UX Ari, HR 5110, Algol, and Cyg X-1 are characterized in terms of marcsec-scale radio structure on the basis of dual-polarization observations at 4.969-4.997 GHz, obtained with an international VLBI array comprising the 100-m Effelsberg, 36-m Haystack, 42-m Green Bank, 26-m Fort Davis, 130-m-equivalent VLA, and 40-m Owens Valley telescopes (system temperatures 40-70 K) at 22-14 h UT on July 26-27, 1983. The data are presented in graphs and tables and discussed in detail. Single Gaussian brightness distributions with theta(FWHM) = 0.5-2.0 marcsec and brightness temperatures (2-200) x 10 to the 8th K are determined for four sources; core-halo structures are found for UX Ari and Algol; and an upper limit of 50 microarcsec is established for the angular separation of the regions of left and right circular polarization. The gross features seen in RS CVn systems are explained in terms of a simple expanding-coronal-loop model of flare events.
