Results are reported from a comprehensive survey of X-ray emission from stars known or suspected to be members of the UMa cluster and/or stream. Of the 42 UMa member stars surveyed, 18 were detected as X-ray sources, and spectral analysis was performed for 10 stars with sufficient X-ray counts. Consideration is given to relations between X-ray luminosity, color, and kinematics of the sample stars, and the X-ray spectra of the UMa stars are discussed in the context of the general problem of stellar X-ray temperatures. Also confirmed is the lack of X-ray-emitting A dwarfs among UMa members; among stars of later spectra type there is a rather large dispersion in X-ray luminosity. This dispersion cannot readily be explained by contamination with field star interlopers and appears rather to be a property of the UMa X-ray luminosity distribution function. 43 refs.
