Abstract

A correlation between the Mg h & k flux and the rotation period for main-sequence F to K stars has been extended to include all dMe stars with known rotational periods. It is shown that the relationship proposed by Hartmann et al for F to K stars does extend to the dMe stars, although there is more scatter. This is in part due to our inability to use the parameter representing the convective-overturn time.
