Self-organized Criticality in Stellar Flares [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract Power-law size distributions are the hallmarks of nonlinear energy dissipation processes governed by self-organized criticality (SOC). Here we analyze 75 data sets of stellar flare size distributions, mostly obtained from the Extreme-Ultraviolet Explorer and the Kepler mission.

Solar–Stellar Connection: X-Ray Flares to Energetic (E > 10 MeV) Particle Events
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Energetic particle environments are an important factor for the viability of life on exoplanets surrounding flare stars. In the heliosphere, large gradual solar energetic ( E > 10 MeV) particle (SEP) events are produced by shocks from fast coronal mass ...

Universe, 2021 Radio emission from stars can be used, for example, to study ionized winds or stellar flares. The radio emission is faint and studies have been limited to few objects.

, 2023 Stellar flares are powerful localized eruptions caused by magnetic reconnection events in a star's magnetosphere that can be seen across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Over short timescales of minutes to a few hours, they emit energies up to 10^38 erg.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The optical and near-ultraviolet (NUV) continuum radiation in M-dwarf flares is thought to be the impulsive response of the lower stellar atmosphere to magnetic energy release and electron acceleration at coronal altitudes.

Analysis of Solar-like X-class Flare on Wolf 359 Observed Simultaneously with TESS and XMM-Newton
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present an analysis of a flare on the Wolf 359 star based on simultaneous observations of Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and XMM-Newton. A stellar flare with energy comparable to an X-class solar flare is analyzed on this star for the first ...

Solar and Stellar Flares [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1989 AbstractThis review concentrates on some selected topics concerning the release of magnetic energy and associated phenomena in flares. Emphasis is on microflares, recent studies of different phases of flares, and propagation and trapping of flare accelerated electrons. The ongoing analysis of the observations of the previous solar cycle reaches a state

Radio Emission from Stellar Flares [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 AbstractAn overview is given of the observations of stellar radio ‘flares', defined as radio emission which is both variable in time and created by explosive releases of magnetic energy. The main sources of such flares are late-type Main-Sequence stars, classic close binaries, X-ray binaries, and pre-Main-Sequence stars.We summarize the interpretations
