The detections of FUV and X-ray emissions from very low mass stars and brown dwarfs have confirmed that stellar magnetic activity can survive even at these low stellar masses. The emissions are qualitatively similar to those from active stars, despite the dramatic differences between the characteristics of It is currently an open question how the structures and magnetic heating which exists in these very low mass stars compare with those seen in higher mass active stars. We propose to take Chandra and HST/COS spectra of two nearby active very low mass stars in order to determine the effect that these large-scale fields have on transition region and coronal structures.
