   AY Ceti is an evolved binary system consisting of a white dwarf and a G
   III star. It is a strong X-ray source and a variable radio source, and
   is often linked to to the RS CVn class of active binary stars. However,
   it has some properties which are very different from those of most RS
   CVns, notably a relatively long period (57 days), an X-ray luminosity
   (10^31 ergs/s) well above the usual rotation-luminosity curve, and
   photospheric abundance anomalies. We propose an ASCA observation of 50
   ksec in order to determine the properties of the corona and to compare
   them with the similar but younger and less-evolved Capella system, to
   measure the coronal abundances, and to look for flaring.
