We present light curves and flares from a 7 day, multiwavelength observational campaign of AU Mic, a young and active dM1e star with exoplanets and a debris disk. We report on 73 unique flares between the X-ray to optical data.

High Time Resolution Photometry of Red Dwarf Flare Stars II. The Shortest Flare Rise Time [PDF]
AbstractWe have studied the initial phases of 65 optical flares on UV Cet type stars with a time resolution of 3x10–7 s. Ninety per cent of these flares have rapid brightenings shorter than 10 s and several are shorter than 1 s. We detected on UV Cet the shortest flare observed to date with a total duration of 1.7 s and a rise time of 0.3 s.

Time resolved spectroscopic observations of an M-dwarf flare star EV Lac during a flare. [PDF]
Flares are explosions on the surface of the Sun and stars. We can find stellar flares frequently on M-dwarf stars. EV Lac, one of the M-dwarf flare stars, is a good target for investigation of stellar flares.

High Time Resolution Photometry of Red Dwarf Flare Stars I. A Search For Fine Structures on the Optical Light Curves of Flares [PDF]
AbstractA detailed analysis of 73 flares on UV Cet type stars observed at the 6 m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory with 3x10–7 s time resolution shows no fine structures on flare light curves with time scales from 10–6 to 10–1 s.

Variability of the He I line at 10 830 Å [PDF]
The He I infrared (IR) triplet at 10 830 Å is known as an activity indicator in solar-type stars and has become a primary diagnostic in exoplanetary transmission spectroscopy.

Multi-wavelength Characterization of Stellar Flares on Low-mass Stars Using SDSS and 2 MASS Time-domain Surveys [PDF]
We present the first rates of flares from M dwarf stars in both red optical and near-infrared (NIR) filters. We have studied ~50,000 M dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 area and 1321 M dwarfs from the Two Micron All Sky Survey ...

High Time Resolution Photometry of Red Dwarf Flare Stars III. The Most Rapid and Faintest Observed Stellar Flares; their Physics and Statistics [PDF]
AbstractHigh time resolution monitoring of the UV Cet type flare stars has enabled as to detect flares with total duration of a few seconds and with energy output comparable to solar subflares. We find that the time scales of decay for such flares correspond to recombination times of optically thin gas or to cooling times of optically thick gas heated ...

The high-energy radiation environment around a 10 Gyr M dwarf: habitable at last? [PDF]
Recent work has demonstrated that high levels of X-ray and UV activity on young M dwarfs may drive rapid atmospheric escape on temperate, terrestrial planets orbiting within the habitable zone.

Coronal response to magnetically-suppressed CME events in M-dwarf stars [PDF]
We report the results of the first state-of-the-art numerical simulations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) taking place in realistic magnetic field configurations of moderately active M-dwarf stars.
