SUMMARY
We
analyze
EUV
and
X­ray

on
a
sample
of
X­ray
active
binary
stars
(HR

–
And,

¸
UMa,
44i
Boo,
and
YY

to
determine
coronal
abundances.
EUVE
spectrometer
data
are
used
to
obtain
line
fluxes,
which
are
then
used
to
determine
Differential
Emission
Measures
(DEMs).
The
continuum
emission
predicted
for
these
DEMs
(constrained
at
high
temperatures
by
measurements
in
the
X­ray
regime
where
available)
are
then
compared
with
EUVE/DS
counts
to
derive
coronal
metallicities.
These
measurements
indicate
whether
the
coronae
on
these
stars
are
metal
deficient
(the
``MAD
Syndrome'')
or
subject
to
the
FIP­effect
(low
First
Ionization
Potential
elements
have
enhanced
abundances
relative
to
the
photospheres).

METALLICITIES
(METHOD)
We
derive
stellar
coronal
metallicities
by
comparing
the
flux
predicted
from
a
Differential
Emission
Measure
(DEM)
distribution
at
various
metallicities
with
observed
broad­band
fluxes:­
1.
Measure
fluxes
for
lines
detected
in
the
EUVE
spectrometers.
2.
Identify
these
lines
and
compute
emissivities
using,
e.g.,
the
CHIANTI
database
(Dere
et
al.
1997,
A&AS,
125,
173)
of
atomic
data
and
the
ion­balances
of
Arnaud
&
Raymond
(1992,
ApJ
398,
39).
3.
Derive
a
DEM
as
a
function
of
temperature
using
the
measured
line
fluxes
and
computed
line
emissivities
(e.g.,
Kashyap
&
Drake
1998,
Aug
10).
The
DEM
thus
derived
is
inversely
dependent
on
the
adopted
metallicity .
4.
Use
the
DEM
derived
above
to
predict
continuum
as
well
as
line
emission
in
the
EUVE/DS
or
the
long
wavelength
part
of
the
EUVE/SW.
5.
The
predicted
fluxes
will
scale
inversely
as
the
adopted
metallicity,
and
will
thus
enable
us
to
measure
coronal
metallicities
by
matching
the
predicted
and
observed
fluxes.

Contributions
from
lines
that
form
at

beyond
those
constrained
during
the
derivation
of
the

will
increase
the
predicted
flux
and
consequently
result
in
higher
values
of
the
metallicity .
The
derived

are
therefore
lower
bounds.
