The O VI and C III Lines at 1032 and 977 Å in Hyades F Stars
Robinson, Richard D.; Carpenter, Kenneth G.; Böhm-Vitense, Erika
We continue our investigations into the mechanisms heating the outer layers of cool dwarf stars. In this study we specifically seek to determine whether in the layers with temperatures around 250,000-300,000 K, in which the O VI lines are emitted, the temperatures are determined by heat conduction from the coronae or by the same processes that hea…
