The Hot Coronae of Pre-Main Sequence Stars

This grant supported the analysis of two RXTE observations of low mass pre-main sequence stars. The data were obtained without problem, and both sources were clearly detected. I analyzed the data at GSFC in July 1999 (it was necessary to defer the analysis because the sources are weak, and the background model was not adequate until recently). The data are good and, although there is still some tweaking of the background subtraction and model fitting remaining to be done, we expect to work up the data for publication this spring.
