RS CVn binary systems are well known for their activity, interpreted as large-scale versions of Solar phenomena: spots, prominences, coronae, all with dynamic behavior. Stellar X-ray luminosity is well known to correlate with rotation and RS CVn stars are among the most luminous of late-type sources; they are prime candidates for X-ray spectroscopy. IM Peg is a long-period system (25d), and relatively X-ray luminous. We propose to obtain 8 HETGS spectra sampled several times during 2-3 rotations. Each exposure will well expose strong lines and also provide an integrated flux. Summed spectra will be used for deriviation of emission measure and abundances. Both long and short-term variability will be examined and correlated with activity diagnostics.
