Scientific paper

We propose a follow-up XMM observation of THETA Muscae with WC star in front. Our primary goal is to identify the location of the Radiative Recombination Continua (RRC) by monitoring the flux change in the difference orbital phase from the previous observation. If the RRC can exist in any binary with a variety of the orbital period, we can expect the RRC is common in WC binary. If the RRC only exists in the short binary with period of an order of 10 days, it strongly restricts the physical parameters, such as density, of the plasma that forms RRC. The RRC is very unique structure to the WC+O binary, which is hardly seen in the other celestial objects.
