We propose to continue our collaborative program of obtaining and analysing high dispersion SWP spectra of cool stars. We request high dispersion, short wavelength IUE spectra of the stars alpha Tau (K5III), gamma Cru (M3III), epsilon Peg (K2Ib) and beta Cam (G0Ib) with exposure times of 16 hours or more. These spectra will provide measurements of line profiles, widths and Doppler shifts in addition to density-sensitive and opacity-sensitive line ratios. Models of chromospheric and transition region (where present) structure will be calculated by a combination of emission measure analysis, line opacity/probability of escape methods and model atmosphere calculations for optically thick resonance lines such as MgII h and k, including partial redistribution radiative transfer. These models will be used to investigate the atmospheric energy balance and the nature of energy transport and nonradiative energy deposition processes. The results will be considered in relation to stellar evolution and compared with the chromospheric properties of other stars previously studied by the authors and their collaborators.
