Description
eROSITA has unleashed a deluge of observations of the stellar X-ray sky in a nexus with other powerful complementary capabilities, such as TESS and Gaia. At the same time, a feeding frenzy of the exoplanet field hungry for data on planetary energetic radiation environments has driven a renaissance of interest and research into stellar coronae and what used to be the backwater of high energy astrophysics. However, a thorough understanding of the relevant physics is still lacking, and gaping holes in our knowledge of the closely-related phenomena of stellar winds and coronal mass ejections remain. I will endeavour to bring us up to date on the state of the art, and inject some personal bias regarding priorities for the way forwards.
