Stellar coronae - The EXOSAT picture
Abstract
This paper gives a summary of Exosat results on stellar coronae focussing on the following topics: (1) the temperature stratification of coronae, as has been derived from low- and medium-resolution spectral data; (2) the coronal spatial structure, as has been inferred from observations of eclipsing binary systems; (3) the time variability of coronal emission, as has been detected with the long, uninterrupted observations made possible by the highly eccentric orbit of Exosat.
