GT Observations of Active Cool Stars: YZ CMi

GTYZ CMi is a very active midM type flare star that produces rather energeticflares. The role of flare heating of the corona can ideally be studied with thissource. The EPIC cameras can be used to identify numerous weak flares, while theRGS will be used to monitor parameters such as density, abundances, andtemperatures during larger possible flares. Statistical results will be comparedwith the quiescent state. Simultaneous radio VLA observations will be requestedto study energy release physics. The pn camera operates with the SML window,while one MOS will observe in TIMING mode with the medium filter. The OMobserves with the UVW2 filter, ideal for flare investigations. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
