We have used the multi-wavelength capabilities of AstroSat, to investigate the outer atmospheres of AB Dor, BO Mic, DG CVn and GJ 3331. These stars, classified as M and K type active stars, are known for their short rotation periods, leading to increased surface magnetic activity. Our soft X-ray observations provide the coronal properties such as emission measures, temperatures and elemental coronal abundances. We report the detection of X-ray flares from AB Dor, BO Mic, and DG CVn, while UV light curves reveal flares in both BO Mic and DG CVn.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-20T13:11:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rapidly rotating stars", "uv observations", "surface activity", "simultaneous x-ray", "bo mic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
