****************************************************** PR # 22011 We propose ASCA observations of a sample of 3 X-ray-bright G-type pre-main sequence stars. These 2 solar mass stars are about 2 million years old, and near the base of their Hayashi tracks. The large X-ray luminosities are presumably indicative of the presence of a magnetic dynamo. However, there is evidence that the emission measure distributions differ from those of older active late-type stars. We propose to measure the coronal emission measure distribution directly, and use it together with existing UV spectra to study the coronal heating in these stars and search for differences in the atmospheres. Such differences may be attributable to the different interior structure, and presumably different dynamo operation, in these fully conv ******************************************************
