   We have been awarded 40 ksec of XTE time to observe the hard X-ray
   spectrum of the prototypical RS CVn binary HR 1099. This will enable
   us to detect its X-ray spectrum up to 35 keV even in its quiescent
   state, and to even harder energies if it flares. We propose to obtain
   an ASCA observation simultaneously with this XTE observation, so that
   we can obtain a moderate spectral resolution spectrum of the .5-8 keV
   range to complement the low-resolution (but broad-band) XTE spectrum.
   This joint observation should enable us to accurately characterize
   the coronal components present in HR 1099, and to search for a
   proposed hard X-ray emission component. There is a good chance that
   the X-ray emission will be variable, and if so we will study the
   spectral variability as a function of time
