EXOSAT Observations of M Dwarfs
Abstract
We give a progress report of our EXOSAT observations of active M dwarfs. The possibilities of filter spectroscopy of coronal X-ray sources using the available CMA filters are discussed, and we confirm that M dwarfs are rather hot coronal sources with X-ray temperatures in excess of 107 K, a result previously obtained with the Einstein Observatory.
