Scientific paper

Photometric and/or spectroscopic observations have been obtained of 52 late-type stars which are suspected or known to be chromospherically active. Although not all types of observations were obtained for each star, these observations include all-sky BVRI Johnson photometry, ultraviolet spectrograms, low-dispersion blue-wavelength spectrograms, and high-dispersion red-wavelength spectrograms. From the spectroscopic observations v sin i's, radial velocities, and the appearance of the Ca II H and K emission lines have been determined as well as the H-alpha line. The photometric observations indicate that chromospherically active stars have V - R and V - I color excesses. Such excesses will affect the surface fluxes determined with the surface brightness-color relationship. On the other hand all-sky BVRI photometry appears to be an excellent way to identify chromospherically active stars. A small group of moderately rapidly rotating, possibly single G8-K2 giants has been found. These stars have very modest chromospheric activity and so are not FK comae stars. A number of other unusual chromospherically active stars are identified.
