  We present a survey of far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1150 - 1450 Ang) emission line
spectra from 71 planet-hosting and 33 non-planet-hosting F, G, K, and M dwarfs
with the goals of characterizing their range of FUV activity levels,
calibrating the FUV activity level to the 90 - 360 Ang extreme-ultraviolet
(EUV) stellar flux, and investigating the potential for FUV emission lines to
probe star-planet interactions (SPIs). We build this emission line sample from
a combination of new and archival observations with the Hubble Space
Telescope-COS and -STIS instruments, targeting the chromospheric and transition
region emission lines of Si III, N V, C II, and Si IV.
  We find that the exoplanet host stars, on average, display factors of 5 - 10
lower UV activity levels compared with the non-planet hosting sample; this is
explained by a combination of observational and astrophysical biases in the
selection of stars for radial-velocity planet searches. We demonstrate that UV
activity-rotation relation in the full F - M star sample is characterized by a
power-law decline (with index $\alpha$ ~ -1.1), starting at rotation periods
>~3.5 days. Using N V or Si IV spectra and a knowledge of the star's bolometric
flux, we present a new analytic relationship to estimate the intrinsic stellar
EUV irradiance in the 90 - 360 Ang band with an accuracy of roughly a factor of
~2. Finally, we study the correlation between SPI strength and UV activity in
the context of a principal component analysis that controls for the sample
biases. We find that SPIs are not a statistically significant contributor to
the observed UV activity levels.
