[en] An X-ray-selected sample of 128 late-type (F-M) stars was analyzed. These stars were identified as optical counterparts to serendipitous X-ray detections made by the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey. Once identified as X-ray sources, the sample was followed up by an extensive program of optical observations, including high-resolution and low-resolution spectroscopy and photometry. Spectral types, luminosity classes, distances, X-ray luminosities, projected rotation rates (v sin i), radial velocities, and binary status have been determined for the sample. 41 refs
