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 ...

On the gamma-activity of stellar flares [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990 The principal possibility of γ-ray manifestation of stellar flares in the framework of pinch-model is shown. Validity of assumption that, γ-bursts are connected with magnetically active dwarfs (MAD) is discussed.

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.

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.

A review of stellar flares and their characteristics [PDF]
Solar Physics, 1989 AbstractWe review the flaring activity of stars across the HR-diagram. Brightenings have been reported along the entire Main Sequence and in many stars off the Main Sequence. Some stars are decidedly young, others are in advanced stages of stellar evolution. Flares are common on stars with outer convection zones and outbursts have been reported also on

, 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.

Flares: the Solar-Stellar Connection [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1995 The systematic study of stellar flares in now more than 30 years old. Throughout that time the solar flare paradigm has been used, highly successfully, to understand various aspects of the stellar phenomenon. In this introductory overview I will attempt to justify the use of the solar model in understanding the stellar equivalent. But I will also point
