The Chandra gratings exceed a resolving power R = 1000, but only at the longest wavelengths and with relatively low effective areas. Recent X-ray observations of cool stars illustrate the problem of line blending at different resolutions and give a good sense of what we will routinely be able to measure with Constellation-X, provided it has high enough spectral resolution. We also expect new diagnostics from weak lines and line profiles. Support for this work is provided by NASA NAS8-39083 to SAO for the CXC and LTSA NAG5-3559.
