On the dispersion in brightness of far-ultraviolet emission lines of cool giant stars
Low-resolution spectra have been obtained with the short-wavelengthcamera of IUE for late-type giant stars of spectral type F5 III-G8 III.These stars are believed to be in their first crossing of the H-Rdiagram, as inferred from their location along the blue edge of theHertzsprung gap or their high abundance of lithium. From the earliestspectral type observed along the blue edge of the gap, the normalized CIV flux, which is indicative of 100,000 K plasma, increases to a maximumat G0 and then falls with advancing spectral type. The total range inemission measure of 100,000 K gas is an order of magnitude or more amongstars making their first appearance as yellow giants and averages about25 times higher in these stars than in other G8-K0 yellow giants, themajority of which are probably He-burning post-red giants. Theobservations tentatively show that transition region emission, and byinference coronal emission, increases in intensity with the growth ofconvection zones in late-type giants and then declines at lower surfacetemperatures, perhaps because of rotational spin-down and a weakening ofdynamo action.
