Scientific paper

This NASA grant supported my ASCA observing and data analysis during AO 5. This research involved a multiwavelength observation of the short period (1.14 day) active binary sigma(sup 2) CrB using the ASCA and RXTE satellites and the NRAO VLA radio array. ASCA observed sigma(sup 2) CrB for 81 ksec on 1997 March 11-13. A large flare outburst, with a flare enhancement over of quiescence of a factor of 6, was seen starting on March 12.23. This flare was also observed by RXTE and the VLA. Two-temperature spectral fitting indicates the presence of a nonvarying cooler component at 8 mk and a hotter component that increased from a quiescent temperature of 22 mk to 50 mk at the peak of the flare. Continuous emission measure distributions derived from the spectra are consistent with the two-temperature fits and also indicate the presence of very hot (100 MK) plasma during the rise phase of the flare. The detailed analysis of all the spectral and radio data for sigma(sup 2) CrB is published in Osten et al. (2000).
