eROSITA all-sky survey (eRASS) – 4 yr survey / 4 h scan rotation X-ray sampling =⇒ ≈ 8 × 5 × 40 [s] largest stellar X-ray sample in human history use TIGRE for near-simultaneous coverage (Ca ii H+K & IRT, Hα...)

Sky focus area
eROSITA – German/Russian data share (50/50) eRO DE (Gal. lon 180-360 deg) + La Luz visibility (Dec: −30 ··· + 70 deg) eRO DE fits to Mexican weather good coverage: Nov.-April average coverage: May/June + Sept./Oct. poor coverage: July/August MWL - visibility distribution ’dilutes’ observations over the year

Mid-dark - yearly The 9 h strip δ : +40◦, +20◦, 0◦, −20◦ obs: Nov. - May

we think ’ecliptic’ (L2 orbit) SRG observes at sun angles 90 ± 20 deg ≈ 2 × 2 h per day for near-simultaneous observations available additional monitoring easy =⇒ 6 months/yr coverage
Jan Robrade (Hamburger Sternwarte) eROTIG 14-06-2018 4 / 15 eROTIG target selection Pt. I
’Our proposed eROSITA + TIGRE (eROTIG) program primarily addresses the corona-chromosphere-connection (CCC) in cool stars. The target sample is characterized by the following selection criteria and subgroups:’
• X-ray bright stars: RASS detection + counterpart (PSPC > 0.01 cts/s, sep. < 30 ”) • Nearby stars: volume-limited samples of magnetically active stars
◦ B − V < 0.45, sp. types early to mid F, 1.3 − 1.6 M – Hot
◦ B − V = 0.45 − 0.58, sp. types late F to early G, 1.1 − 1.3 M – Big suns
◦ B − V = 0.58 − 0.77, sp. types early to late G, 0.9 − 1.1 M – Solar friends
◦ B − V = 0.77 − 1.25, sp. types late G to mid K, 0.7 − 0.9 M – Small suns
◦ B − V > 1.25, sp. types late K to early M, 0.5 − 0.7 M – Red
• Joker: Stars of particular interest and/or in eRO RU sky

Jan Robrade (Hamburger Sternwarte) eROTIG 14-06-2018 7 / 15 Observational statistics
Archive readout: 2018-06-06, Reduction 3.1 eROTIG data
program target overlap (Act., RV,...) of 5 – 10% external visit-per-target excess of factor 10 and higher use for cross-checks & testing share to maximize science return
Performance
scheduling efficiency looks ok (280 targets with 1+ spectra, ∼ 220 h) estimated exposures overall sufficient (S/N aim) lot’s of data dropouts (TIGRE / B channel failure) & 100 targets affected (about 35 %)
