Scientific paper

XMM-Newton has been performing comprehensive studies of X-ray luminous RS CVn binary systems in its calibration and guaranteed time programs. We present results from ongoing investigations in the context of a systematic study of coronal emission from RS CVns. We concentrate here on coronal abundances and investigate the abundance pattern in RS CVn binaries as a function of activity and average temperature. We find a transition from an Inverse First Ionization Potential (FIP) effect towards an absence of a clear trend (no FIP) in intermediately active RS CVn systems. This scheme fits well into the long-term evolution from an IFIP to a FIP effect found in solar analogs. We further study variations in the elemental abundances during a large flare.
