Description

Fourier dissection analysis of an average of five spectral lines has been carried out on high-quality Reticon data of several F-K dwarfs. The slow rotators in the sample support Walter's discovery of a break at P(Rot) 10 days in the X-ray-rotation relation. The star Epsilon Eri is among the sharpest-lined late-type stars analyzed yet it appears to be observed at nearly a pole-on orientation. The broadening of a strong magnetically-sensitive line can be explained by the presence of an approximately 600 g field. Finally, although the new data are sparse, they seem to support existing correlations of macroturbulence decreasing with T(eff) and age in solar-type stars
