Abstract

The theoretical Xray-EUV spectral code of Landini and Monsignori-Fossi (1990) has been compared with an emission spectrum of the active late type star AU Mic obtained during the initial calibration phase of Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Spectrometer. This comparison has been used to test the overall applicability of the code and to provide inputs for improvement. A number of lines were identified in the spectrum of AU Mic including several highly ionized iron lines.

Subject headings: stars; coronae; EUV radiation; emission lines identification
