| The Extremely Active Single Giant 1E 1751+7046 = ET Draconis: Revised Properties and a Reevaluation of Its Evolutionary Status
New spectroscopic observations have resulted in significant revisions toseveral of the orginally published properties of the X-ray bright,chromospherically active star 1E 1751+7046: the spectral classificationhas been revised from K5 IV to K0 III, v sin i from 30--40 km s-1 to 23km s-1, and the reported nondetection of the Li I 6707 A line to asignificant log epsilon (Li) = 1.8. Chromospheric and transition regionsurface fluxes from IUE observations and the coronal surface flux fromearlier Einstein data are close to saturation levels, and comparableonly to very active binaries, pre--main-sequence stars, and FK Comaeitself. IUE observations also recorded a flare. Fifteen new radialvelocity measurements show no evidence for a companion and areconsistent with intermediate or young disk membership. On the otherhand, we show the star to be located about 250 pc above the galacticplane, suggesting an intermediate or old disk object. The new spectralclass (Teff) and limits on the luminosity indicate that 1E 1751+7046 isa low-mass star on its first ascent of the giant branch. Photometry fromthe Four College Consortium Automatic Photometry Telescope is consistentwith the recently published photometric period of 13.98 days, and thelight curve is well fitted by a model consisting of two large spots atlatitudes of ~30 deg and ~50 deg. There are currently only two possibleevolutionary scenarios for this anomalous star: (a) coalescence from aprogenitor W UMa--type contact binary; or (b) the dredge-up of bothangular momentum and nuclear processed material in a low-mass (~1--2.5Mȯ) giant. A space motion, obtainable once a parallax and propermotion are available from Hipparcos, may resolve the age (old disk-youngdisk) uncertainty: young disk motions would favor the angular momentumtransfer scenario. There is no current theory that can account for theobserved lithium abundance.
