Caption: Figure 9.

Left: for coronal sources, the ratio of X-ray luminosity (LX) and bolometric luminosity (Lbol) is correlated with the rotational period. The figure compares the limits on TYC 4144-329-1 and TYC 4144-329-2 with other stellar samples; see Section 4.6 for a description of the samples. Error bars are omitted for samples with more than three objects for clarity. Since the inclination of TYC 4144-329-1 and TYC 4144-329-2 is unknown, there is only an upper limit on the rotation period. TYC 4144-329-1 is undetected in X-rays; the area marked in the plot assumes the least restrictive coronal temperature (0.3 keV) discussed in the text. For hotter coronae, the limit on the X-ray luminosity is lower. Right: same as the left panel but for the Rossby number.
