The Einstein/CEA stellar survey: overview of the data and interpretation of results
Description
Results are presented from an extensive survey of stellar X-ray emission, using the EINSTEIN Observatory. Over 140 stars have been detected to date, throughout the H-R diagram, thus showing that soft X-ray emission is the norm rather than the exception for stars in general. This finding is strongly at odds with pre-EINSTEIN expectations based on standard acoustic theories of coronal heating. Typical examples of stellar X-ray detections are presented and an overview of the survey data is provided. In combination with recent results from solar X-ray observations, the new EINSTEIN data argue for the general applicability of magnetic field-related coronal heating mechanisms. (Auth.)
