Scientific paper

Almost-simultaneous observations of 24 active-chromosphere stars with the VLA and the Parkes 64-m telescope at 4.9, 8.4 and 15 GHz over a 24-h interval on September 14, 1985 are reported. In all, 14 stars were detected. There is a striking difference in the power outputs and brightness temperatures of the higher-optical-luminosity stars (RS CVn, Algol-like and CAII emitters) and the low-luminosity dMe stars; this can be explained by differences in the surface areas and rotation velocities of the two groups of stars. Two three-point spectra show a broad peak in the region near 8.4 GHz, indicating a transition from optically thick to optically thin radio sources. For another three stars, two-point spectral indices are negative, indicating that their spectra peak probably well below 15 GHz; two stars with two-point positive spectral indices have higher-frequency turnovers, although perhaps below 15 GHz.
