X-ray astronomy of stellar coronae [PDF]
X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures exceeding 1 million K. Coronae are ubiquitous among these stars, yet many fundamental mechanisms operating in their magnetic fields still elude an interpretation through a ...

We present a multiwavelength study of stellar flares on primarily G-type stars using overlapping time domain surveys in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) and optical regimes. The NUV (the Galaxy Evolution Explorer; GALEX) and optical (Kepler) wavelength domains

Hadronic gamma-ray emission from windy microquasars [PDF]
The jets of microquasars with high-mass stellar companions are exposed to the dense matter field of the stellar wind. We present estimates of the gamma-ray emission expected from the jet-wind hadronic interaction and we discuss the detectability of the ...

Lithium in Turnoff Stars in the Globular Cluster M5: A Quest for Primordial Lithium
The light element lithium is formed by nucleosynthesis during the Big Bang. Its abundance can help to define the parameters of the early Universe. To find this primordial value, it is necessary to determine Li abundances in the oldest stars because it is

The γ Dor stars as revealed by Kepler: A key to reveal deep-layer rotation in A and F stars
The γ Dor pulsating stars present high-order gravity modes, which make them important targets in the intermediate-and low-mass main-sequence region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Whilst we have only access to rotation in the envelope of the Sun, the

ASCA view on High-Redshift Radio-Quiet Quasars [PDF]
We briefly discuss the latest ASCA results on the X-ray spectral properties of high-redshift radio-quiet quasars.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, to appear in the Proceedings of the Conference "X-ray Astronomy '999: Stellar Endpoints, AGNs, and the Diffuse ...

Coronal activity with XMM-Newton and Chandra
XMM-Newton and Chandra have greatly deepened our knowledge of stellar coronae giving access to a variety of new diagnostics such that nowadays a review of stellar X-ray astronomy necessarily must focus on a few selected topics.
