Coronal emission and stellar evolution.
Abstract
Results of stellar X-ray astronomy based on the Einstein and Exosat observations are reviewed together with preliminary results from Rosat. Attention is given to the influence of stellar evolution on the X-ray emission from normal stars, the contribution of normal star X-ray emission to the X-ray makeup of the Galaxy, the stellar contribution to the diffuse soft X-ray background, and the origin of the Galactic Ridge. Particular consideration is given to methods for predicting the stellar coronal source number counts.
