First results from high-resolution coronal spectroscopy with the {it XMM-Newton} Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) are reviewed. Five stellar systems (HR 1099, Capella, Procyon, YY Gem, AB Dor) have been observed. The emphasis of the present paper is on overall coronal structure. Elemental abundances in {it active stars} are found to be `anomalous in the sense that they tend to increase with increasing First Ionization Potential (FIP - i.e., signifying an inverse FIP effect). Coronal densities are measured at levels of a few times $10^{10}$ cm$^{-3}$ for cooler plasma, although there are indications for very high densities in the hotter plasma components.

First results from high-resolution coronal spectroscopy of flares with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers on board the textit{XMM-Newton} satellite are reviewed. Rotational modulation in the X-ray light curve of HR 1099 is discussed. Results from t
ime-dependent spectroscopy of flares in the active stars HR 1099, AB Dor, YY Gem are also presented. Variations in the shape of the emission measure distributions, in the abundances and in the average density of the cool plasma are discussed.
We have been conducting a comprehensive survey of stellar coronae with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometers during the commissioning, calibration, verification, and guaranteed time phases of the mission, accompanied by simultaneous observa
tions with the EPIC cameras and, for several targets, with the radio VLA and/or the VLBA. The principal aim of this project is threefold: i) To understand stellar coronal structure and composition by studying systematics in the coronae of stars with widely different levels of magnetic activity; ii) to investigate heating and particle acceleration physics during flares, their role in the overall coronal energy budget, and their possible role in the quiescent stellar emission; iii) to probe stellar coronal evolution by studying solar analogs of different ages. We report early results from this project.
We present the first high resolution photospheric X-ray spectrum of a Supersoft X-ray Source, the famous CAL~83 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The spectrum was obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer on XMM-Newton during the Calibration/Per
formance Verification phase of the observatory. The spectrum covers the range 20-40 A at an approximately constant resolution of 0.05 A, and shows very significant, intricate detail, that is very sensitive to the physical properties of the object. We present the results of an initial investigation of the spectrum, from which we draw the conclusion that the spectral structure is probably dominated by numerous absorption features due to transitions in the L-shells of the mid-$Z$ elements and the M-shell of Fe, in addition to a few strong K-shell features due to CNO.
We report the results of preliminary analysis of the XMM_Newton EPIC and RGS observations of the candidate black-hole binary LMC X-3 between February and June 2000. The observations covered both the soft and the hard X-ray spectral states. The hard-s
tate spectra were dominated by a power-law component with a photon index Gamma = 1.9 +/- 0.1. The soft-state spectra consisted of a thermal component with a multi-colour disk temperature T_in = 0.9 keV and a power-law tail with Gamma ~ 2.5--2.7. The model in which the X-rays from LMC X-3 in the high-soft state are powered by a strong stellar wind from a massive companion is not supported by the small line-of-sight absorption (n_H <~ 10^{21} cm^{-2}) deduced from the RGS data. The transition from the soft to the hard state appears to be a continuous process associated with the changes in the mass-transfer rate.
We report on a 30ksec XMM-Newton observation of the central region of the Cha I star forming cloud. Virtually all known T Tauri star members and most of the very-low mass objects including two bona-fide brown dwarfs (spectral types M7.5 and M8) are d
etected. We identify several new candidate members in the X-ray image. Spectral analysis of the X-ray bright stars shows that previous X-ray studies in Cha I have underestimated the X-ray luminosities, as a result of simplified assumptions on the spectral shape. No dramatic changes in the correlations of X-ray luminosity with age, effective temperature and mass are seen at the substellar boundary, and the lowest-mass objects behave similar to the higher-mass T Tauri stars in terms of variability. Thus the same dynamo mechanism seems to operate in both low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, at least at young ages. On the other hand, the only two A-type stars in the field show very different X-ray properties, suggesting that various emission mechanisms may be at work in intermediate-mass stars.
