| Abstract : | We analyse the Chandra X-ray data of HD179949, a Sun-like star with a close Jupiter-mass planet. We study temporal variability of both the intensity and the spectrum and demonstrate the existence of short term variability in the corona. We perform spectral fitting on archival Chandra data and model the observed spectrum with a two-component APEC model. We obtain consistent abundance measurements over several phases. We find a consistent set of change points over several passbands and find evidence for short term variability in both intensity and spectral hardness. |
