Description Despite their fundamental role for the evolution of late-type stellar systems,
mass loss rates from winds are only known for 10 Sun-like stars. Two regimes
have been proposed separated by a wind dividing line\: winds increasing in
intensity with increasing activity up to moderate activity levels; and, based on
just one measurement, much weaker winds for the most active stars. We propose
observations of two active Sun-like stars to determine their X-ray fluxes and
activity, and confirm their location beyond the wind dividing line. These X-ray
data will lay the foundation for interpreting the results of our cycle 25 HST
programme to estimate their stellar wind mass loss rates, test predictions from
data-driven simulations, and illuminate the elusive relationship between coronal and wind energy output.

Mission Description The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations.
Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
