Title: Modeling the corona of AB Doradus
Abstract: We present coronal models for the active, rapidly rotating K0 dwarf, AB Doradus. The technique used to produce the magnetic geometry of the corona is based on the high resolution spectroscopic technique, Zeeman Doppler imaging (ZDI). These magnetic field loops are populated using a physically realistic steady-flow loop model which takes the asymmetries of the stellar loops into account. The densities derived from these models compare favourably with observations. The temperatures and densities from a variety of loop structures are used to predict the emission measure distribution expected from this star and is compared with EUVE observations.
