Table 1: Sample of BD companions to MS stars observed with Chandra ACIS-S. The left hand side of the table represents a summary of stellar parameters. The distances are from Hipparcos, references for the other parameters are given in brackets. On the right hand side we list X-ray properties derived from the Chandra data: X-ray luminosity, ratio of X-ray to bolometric luminosity attributing all X-ray emission to either of the components for unresolved binaries, and median photon energy. The labels "A'', "Q'', and "F'' denote average, quiescent, and flare luminosities.
