Abstract
We used four coronal models to fit ROSAT data of a sample of late-type star
s. The merits and demerits of each was discussed. We found a good correlati
on between the corneal temperature so derived and the magnetic field streng
th. This indicates magnetic heating of the corona and provides a possible,
indirect means of estimating the photospheric magnetic field.
