The nature of the mechanisms apparently driving X-rays from intermediate mass stars lacking strong convection zones or massive winds remains poorly understood, and the possible role of hidden, lower mass close companions is still unclear. A 20 ks Cha... Read More about BURN OUT OR FADE AWAY? ON THE X-RAY AND MAGNETIC DEATH OF INTERMEDIATE MASS STARS.
