Statistical studies of low-power solar flares. Distribution of flares by area, brightness, and classes [PDF]

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2017
An electronic database has been created for 123801 solar flares that occurred on the Sun over the period from 1972 to 2010. It is based on catalogs of the Solar Geophysical Data (SGD) and Quarterly Bulletin on Solar Activity.

X-Ray, Near-ultraviolet, and Optical Flares Produced by Colliding Magnetospheres in the Young High-eccentricity Binary DQ Tau [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
DQ Tau is a unique young high-eccentricity binary system that exhibits regular magnetic reconnection flares and pulsed accretion near periastron. We conducted NuSTAR, Swift, and Chandra observations during the 2022 July 30 periastron to characterize X ...

A Multiwavelength Survey of Nearby M Dwarfs: Optical and Near-ultraviolet Flares and Activity with Contemporaneous TESS, Kepler/K2, Swift, and HST Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength investigation into flares and activity in nearby M dwarf stars. We leverage the most extensive contemporaneous data set obtained through the Transiting Exoplanet Sky Survey, Kepler/K2, the Neil Gehrels Swift ...

Gaia Sees Blazars Move: Locating Optical Flares Using Astrometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
When blazars flare, their optical position moves. We show this by combining Gaia DR3 proper motions with epoch photometry for blazars with strong optical jet emission.

Constraints on Stellar Flare Energy Ratios in the NUV and Optical from a Multiwavelength Study of GALEX and Kepler Flare Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a multiwavelength study of stellar flares on primarily G-type stars using overlapping time domain surveys in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) and optical regimes. The NUV (the Galaxy Evolution Explorer; GALEX) and optical (Kepler) wavelength domains

LOW-POWER SOLAR FLARES OF OPTICAL AND X-RAY WAVELENGTHS FOR SOLAR CYCLES 21–24

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
Using data obtained in optical and X-ray wavelengths, we have analyzed solar flare activity for cycles 21–24. Over the last three cycles, solar activity is shown to decrease significantly.

Chandra, HST/STIS, NICER, Swift, and TESS Detail the Flare Evolution of the Repeating Nuclear Transient ASASSN -14ko

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
ASASSN-14ko is a nuclear transient at the center of the AGN ESO 253−G003 that undergoes periodic flares. Optical flares were first observed in 2014 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) and their peak times are well-modeled with a ...

Minutes-duration optical flares with supernova luminosities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism from the most common luminous extragalactic transients (supernovae), whose

RoboPol: connection between optical polarization plane rotations and gamma-ray flares in blazars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We use results of our 3 yr polarimetric monitoring programme to investigate the previously suggested connection between rotations of the polarization plane in the optical emission of blazars and their gamma-ray flares in the GeV band. The homogeneous set

Dynamics of small-scale magnetic fields before small and large solar flares

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023
We have examined the dynamics of the longitudinal magnetic field of active region NOAA 12673, using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). During the passage of the active region (AR) across the solar disk, its spots and background fields showed
