The aim of the project was to determine the spectral energy distributions of late-type dwarf flare stars to investigate the possible existence of an inversion of the spectrum slope at frequencies higher than 8 GHz. We also tried to constrain the possible emission mechanism at radio frequencies. We have detections in X band (8.4 GHz), for three sources (UV Cet, V 1054 Oph, and EV Lac), while all of our other measurements are upper limits. We discuss how the weak radio emission of some sources (e.g. AU Mic) and the coronal plasma properties deduced from X-ray observations constrain the coronal magnetic field properties.

Contemporary to ISO observations we also secured: - millimeter data with the IRAM interferometer; - near infrared and optical photometry with the 91 cm and the 80 cm APT, respectively, at Catania Observatory. Preliminary data on the spectral distribution in the full 2.5 - 200 micron range indicate the presence of a remarkably well defined IR excess whose nature is under investigation.

With a nominal mission life time of 5 years, and a planned extension to 10 years, from a geosynchronous orbit with an inclination of 51.8 degrees, WSO-UV will provide observations of exceptional importance for the study of many unsolved astrophysical problems. WSO-UV is implemented in the framework of a collaboration between Russia (chair), China, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Ukraine. This book illustrates the results of the feasibility study for the Field Camera Unit (FCU), a multi-spectral radial instrument on the focal plane of WSO-UV. The book provides an overview of the key science topics that are drivers to the participation of the Italian astronomical community in the WSO-UV project. The science drivers here illustrated have been used to define th...

To achieve a meaningful outcome an accurate selection of the target sample is needed. In this paper we analyse the targets, suitable for EChO observations, expected to result from a sample of present and forthcoming detection surveys. Exoplanets currently known are already sufficient to provide a large and diverse sample. However we expect the results from these surveys to increase the sample of smaller planets that will allow us to optimize the EChO sample selection.
