E. Lefevre et al., VARIABILITY AND ORIGIN OF PERMANENT RADIO-EMISSION IN RS CVN AND ALGOL-TYPE BINARIES, Space science reviews, 68(1-4), 1994, pp. 293-296
The variability of the radio emission of RS CVn and Algol type binarie
s has been observed over 70 hours by Lefevre et al. (1993). In this co
ntribution simple model calculations are applied to discuss the releva
nt time scales. It is concluded that a significant fraction of the per
manent radio emission of these systems is due to flare-like processes
of energy release over a wide range of energies.
