Abstract: The X-ray emissions observed in late-type stars are shown to be associated with transverse magnetic tube waves generated in stellar convective zones. The heating theory is examined to insure that it accounts for the mechanical energy flux associated with the wide range of X-ray emissions for each spectral type, and the inhomogeneous and locally strong magnetic fields in stellar atmospheres. The values of the free parameters from the wave-heating model developed agree with observational data, and the tube waves can account for the observed X-ray emissions of F, G, and K dwarfs.
