Extensive stellar surveys with the Einstein Observatory (Chlebowski et al., 1989) and with ROSAT have clearly confirmed the presence of stellar X-ray emission over nearly the whole range of the HR diagram. In the ROSAT all-sky survey data approximately 20000 stellar X-ray sources were detected (Schmitt et al., 1992). Most of these stellar X-ray emitters are low mass late-type stars, the origin of their X-ray emission is thought to be coronal.
