Abstract

We have observed 3 nearby BY Dra systems, FK Aqr, BF Lyn, and DH Leo, with the EUVE spectrometers. All 3 show evidence of high-temperature (~ 107 K) plasma; FK Aqr and DH Leo show significant variability in their Deep Survey lightcurves. In FK Aqr, spectral differences between its “quiescent” and “active” states suggest possible differences in the plasma density. In DH Leo, the Deep Survey lightcurve, taken over nearly 8 days, shows a distinct period of ~ 1.05 days, consistent with the photometric period. The emission measure distributions of all three systems are rather similar in shape, and can be well-represented by a power law with slope ~ 1.5 from 6.2–7.0 in log T.
