ABSTRACT
We propose to survey 3 sq. deg. of sky within the Kepler target area with 12 XMM pointing of 80 ksec each. We will take advantage of the unprecedented accuracy, duration and duty cycle of the white-light light-curves (LCs), obtained by Kepler on a large, statistically meaningful stellar sample. These allow us to reliably determine the rotational periods of slow rotators and to obtain simultaneous optical and X-rays observations. The proposed observations will allow us i) to derive the size of active regions in a large sample of stars (hundreds, spanning different activity regimes), ii) to constrain coronal heating mechanisms and iii) to explore the slow rotation regime in low mass stars, using a variety of diagnostics described in the proposal.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
