AN ASCA STUDY OF THE ULTRAFAST ROTATOR SPEEDY MIC
ABSTRACT
We propose a 60 ksec ASCA observation of the ultrafast rotator Speedy Mic (=HD 197890). The goal of the proposed observations is to obtain -- for the first time -- a high-quality X-ray spectrum of this active star, to search for rotational modulation in the X-ray lightcurve, and -- with luck -- to catch a major flare on this hyperactive star. The proposed observations are very well suited to both the ASCA orbit and the ASCA mode of observations.
