Description
We describe multi-wavelength, simultaneous observations of the RS CVn
star, II Pegasi, most of which were obtained during the first three
weeks of September 1992. These observations were made using optical and
infra-red broad-band photometry, ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy
and microwave monitoring. We have detected photospheric spots and
chromospheric flares, as well as deriving a description of mean
conditions in the quiet chromosphere. One of the flares, observed in
optical photometry and ultraviolet spectroscopy is one of the most
energetic ever observed on this star. We demonstrate that in its
``quiescent'' state II Peg is continually variable in most of its
chromospheric emissions, as well as in its coronal output.
