| Abstract: |
The turn of the millennium will be a marvelous time for X-ray astronomy with the launch of powerful missions such as AXAF, XMM, and ASTRO-E. Stellar coronae, with their spectra rich in emission lines, will be primary targets to exploit the spectroscopic capabilities of these missions. In particular, the CCD cameras and reflection gratings on XMM will allow us to address a number of key questions in stellar coronal physics. The capabilities of XMM for the study of stellar coronae are illustrated by means of simulations of EPIC and RGS spectra for a variety of typical stellar coronal sources. The mission time-line and the policy for accessing the data are also briefly illustrated. |
