A previous work of ours found the best agreement between EUV light curves observed in an active region core (with evidence of super-hot plasma) and those predicted from a model with a random combination of many pulse-heated strands with a…

The content of hot material in the corona is not constant. Soft X-ray and high-temperature EUV line observations show that new material, apparently heated and evaporated from the chromosphere, is frequently injected into the corona both in…

We investigate an XMM-Newton observation of SCR 1845-6357, a nearby, ultracool M8.5/T5.5 dwarf binary. The binary is unresolved in the XMM detectors, however the X-ray emission is very likely from the M8.5 dwarf. We compare its flaring…
