8. X-ray emission from low-mass stars is associated with the magnetic activity resulting from the interplay between stellar rotation and surface convective motions. The stellar rotation is a decreasing function of age in these stars. Young low-mass stars typically show rapid rotation, which favors the generation of enhanced magnetic fields and the heating of the outermost stellar layers, producing the x-ray emission.
