We searched for thermal gyro-synchrotron radio emission from a sample of five radio-loud stars whose X-ray coronae contain a hot ($T_e>10^7$ K) thermal component. We used the JVLA to measure Stokes I and V/I spectral energy distributions…

We obtain contemporaneous observations of the surface and corona of AB Dor using ground-based circularly polarised spectra from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and X-ray data from the Chandra satellite. The ground-based data are used to…

High resolution spectra of the active binary Capella (G8 III + G1 III) covering the energy range 0.4-8.0 keV (1.5-30 Angstroms) show a large number of emission lines, demonstrating the performance of the HETGS. A preliminary application of…

Recent progress in obtaining high spatial resolution images of the solar corona in the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) with Hinode, TRACE, SDO and recent Hi-C missions and soft X-ray (SXR) bands opened a new avenue in understanding the solar…
