Abstract
AbstractThe X-ray surface fluxes of intermediate-mass G and K giants are correlated with their rotation periods and Rossby numbers. Empirical relationships are presented that accounts for the X-ray luminosity evolution of single intermediate-mass giants, such as FK Comae-type stars, and of giants in close or long-period binaries, such as RS CVn-type systems, as they evolve off the main sequence towards the top of the red giant branch.
