    PR # 32036                                                                   
     We propose to obsere 3 X-ray-bright low mass pre-main sequence stars.       
     These 1-2 solar mass stars are about 2 million years old, and near          
     the base of their Hayashi tracks.  The large X-ray luminosities             
     suggest the presence of a magnetic dynamo, yet there is evidence that       
     the emission measure distributions (EMD) differ from those of older         
     active late-type stars. We propose to measure the coronal EMD               
     directly, and use it together with existing UV spectra to study the         
     coronal heating in these stars and search for differences in the            
     atmospheres. These may be attributable to the different interior            
     structure, and perhaps different dynamo operation, in these fully           
     convective stars.  These observations will supplement our single AO2        
    target, and permit examination
