Abstract
Our study focuses on analysing the coronal, transition and chromospheric activity of four rapidly rotating stars located within 50 pc in the solar neighborhood. We have used the multi-wavelength capabilities of AstroSat to investigate the outer atmospheres of AB Dor, BO Mic, DG CVn and GJ 3331. These stars, classified as M and K type active stars, are known for their short rotation periods, leading to increased surface magnetic activity. Our soft X-ray observations provide the coronal properties, such as emission measures, temperatures and elemental coronal abundances. We reported the detection of X-ray flares from AB Dor, BO Mic and DG CVn, while UV light curves reveal flares in both BO Mic and DG CVn.
