Description:
    Table 1 lists near-simultaneous X-ray data and Ca II H&K line-core
    emission data from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and from the
    Mt. Wilson H&K spectrometer, respectively. The stars in this sample
    are 215 bright F-, G-, and K-type stars.
    Table 2 lists the derived excess Ca II H&K line-core and the X-ray
    flux densities for the same stars.

Note (1): DFCa is the logarithmic Ca II H&K line-core emission surface flux
           density in excess of the minimum flux density derived by
           Rutten (1987A&A...177..131R) DFCa is expressed in
           Rutten's arbitrary units (1982A&A...130..353R)
          (Logarithmic) uncertainties are given in the same units.
          If the negative uncertainty is missing (left blank), the uncertainty
           is infinity, meaning that the negative uncertainty in the
           non-logarithmic value is of the order of the value itself; this
           occurs when the Ca II flux density is close to the minimum flux
           density.
          If no value is given for the excess Ca II surface flux density and
           the normalized flux density (DRCaII) the calculated Ca II flux
           density is smaller than the minimum flux density.
Note (2): FX is the logarithmic X-ray surface flux density in erg/(s*cm^2).
           if the uncertainties E_FX and e_F_X is missing (left blank), the
           surface flux density and the normalized flux density, RX, are upper
           limit values.
Note (3): A: Total FX and RX of HD 26913 + HD 26923
          B: Total FX and RX of HD 201091 + HD 201092
