Scientific paper

Due to its close proximity (d=6.7 pc), the primary of the Xi Boo binary (G8 V+K4 V) is one of the best targets for studying the coronal characteristics of moderately active stars. However, previous X-ray observations of Xi Boo are complicated by their inability to separate the emissions of the two stars. We propose to obtain LETG/HRC-S spectra of Xi Boo, which will easily resolve the stars and provide high quality spectra of both. We will then explore the nature of an apparent change in coronal character that exists at about the activity level of Xi Boo A by comparing the Xi Boo A spectrum with an existing LETGS spectrum of Epsilon Eri (K1 V), these two stars being on opposite sides of the transition.
