Scientific paper

We propose to observe five M-type giants detected in the course of the ROSAT all-sky survey in order to confirm the detections and to obtain accurate positions and count rates with the HRC-I. M-type giants are old, low-mass stars to the right of the canonical X-ray dividing line and they are not expected to show magnetic activity and hence X-ray emission at all. Thus, any X-ray detections among such stars would challenge our ideas of coronal structures and late stellar activity in giants, especially as possible companions are not a reasonable explanation. Therefore, it is important to comfirm or reject the preliminary detections and to find out whether they are intrinsic or misidentified with background sources.
