Stern, R. A. ; Skumanich, A. Abstract X-ray and ultraviolet observations of the spectroscopic and visual binary HD 165590 are presented. Results show that the spectroscopic binary component has a period of 0.88 day and a near-solar spectral type. A substantial soft X-ray flux for HD 165590 is also found with an X-ray luminosity of 10 to the 30.6th ergs/sec for the system. No obvious periodicities of less than 0.5 days are detected in the X-ray data, although stochastic variability is present. Observations of the transition region emission lines using the International Ultraviolet Explorer satellites are shown to be consistent with the X-ray data and reveal an approximately 50% variability on the time scale of days. It is concluded that comparisons of the results for HD 165590 with X-ray observations of other late F and G stars demonstrate that rotation-activity scaling relations are useful as gross predictors of X-ray emission.
