Abstract:
Results are reported from a comprehensive survey of X-ray emission
from stars known or suspected to be members of the UMa cluster and/or
stream. Of the 42 UMa member stars surveyed, 18 were detected as X-ray
sources, and spectral analysis was performed for 10 stars with
sufficient X-ray counts. Consideration is given to relations between
X-ray luminosity, color, and kinematics of the sample stars, and the
X-ray spectra of the UMa stars are discussed in the context of the
general problem of stellar X-ray temperatures. Also confirmed is the
lack of X-ray-emitting A dwarfs among UMa members; among stars of
later spectral type there is a rather large dispersion in X-ray
luminosity. This dispersion cannot readily be explained by
contamination with field star interlopers and appears rather to be a
property of the UMa X-ray luminosity distribution function.

Note (1): These columns give the HR (Bright Star Catalog) and HD (Henry
Draper Catalog) numbers of the sample star.
Note (2): These columns give the instrument used and the sequence number of
the observation. Listed in the instrument column will be an "I" if the
Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) was used, an "H" if the High
Resolution Imager (HRI) was used, or an "EXO" if the data is from
EXOSAT. The Einstein sequence number is a two to five digit number
which uniquely identifies the observation. The numbers were assigned
sequentially at the time of proposal submission. In most cases we used
IPC data, for a few stars the HRI was used, and in one case the EXOSAT
Low Energy experiment was used.
Note (3): The "f_CCR" column is marked with a "1" if the corrected count
rate is an upper limit. The "CCR" column gives the corrected count
rate (per 1000 seconds). For detections, the "f_CCR" column is marked
with a "0", and the 1 sigma error is given in the "e_CCR" column. For
upper limits, the value given is a 3 sigma upper limit, and the error
is given as zero. Count rate is corrected for scattering, vignetting,
and detector dead time.
Note (4): This column marks what kind of detect algorithm was used to
locate the source; an "M" indicates MDETECT, an "L" indicates LDETECT
(see Harnden, et al. 1984). This pertains only to the IPC data.
Sources detected with other detectors contain a "." in this column.
Note (5): This column gives the log of the X-ray luminosity (in erg/s) in
the 0.16-4.0 keV passband, computed with the distance given in the
table stuma2.dat . When the count rate is an upper limit, the
luminosity is also an upper limit. For the conversion from count rate
to fluxes, we used the "standard" conversion of 2x10-11
erg/cm2/count.
Note (6): This column contains notes on individual sources. The following
notes are used:
a: HR 1971: observed with Ribs and Edges COde (RECO; see text) 1008
b: HR 5328/29: not separated by IPC; observed with RECO 200
c: HR 5727/28: not separated by IPC
d: HR 8207: observed with RECO 1006
e: HR 8410: observed with RECO 400
Note (7): In these columns, we give the adopted distance, the B-V color
index, and the spectral type.
Note (8): The space velocities, U, V, and W are given (in km/s) in the
first three columns listed here. Note that we are using a coordinate
system with the positive U-axis pointing toward the Galactic center.
In the "Rho" column, we give the modulus of the velocity difference
between the star and the cluster nucleus adopted from Eggen
(1983AJ.....88..642E 1983AJ.....88..642E) to be U(nuc)= 13.9 km/s, V(nuc)= 1.5 km/s, and
W(nuc)= -9.4 km/s.

Note (6): These columns give the derived emission measure (in units of

only one component, the entry for the second component will be zero.
Note (7): These columns give the log of the inferred X-ray luminosity (with
the distance as given in stuma1.dat) in ergs/s in the 0.16-4.0 keV
