Transition Regions of PMS and Pleiades-Age Stars
Abstract
The objectives of this program are to study the dynamics, thermal structure, and energy balance in the transition regions of young stars, including pre-main sequence and Pleiades age stars. The observations will address these questions by measuring the far-UV fluxes, line widths, and Doppler shifts of the O VI and other far-UV transition region lines. We will be studying some young A-type stars to determine whether their transition regions differ from those of cooler stars, and will analyze any flares observed in these young stars and a reference late-M star.
