Extended Radio Coronae


credit: Mutel et al. 1985, ApJ, 289, 262

Extended radio emission (from 108K electrons) is routinely observed to fill a volume approximately the size of the binary system in RS CVn systems.

The radio source associated with the dMe binary YY Gem has an extent of about 2 stellar diameters (Alef et al. 1996).
