Identification of a faint X-ray source with the W Ursae Majoris star VW CepheiThe NRL instrument aboard the HEAO 1 satellite has detected a faint X-ray source, which has been identified tentatively with the contact binary star (W UMa variable) VW Cephei. Its luminosity is between 3 x 10 to the 30th and 4 x 10 to the 31st ergs/sec (0.1-10 keV), and the results suggest some variation of the X-ray flux with phase.
