- Description:
- We investigate the characteristics of the solar flare complex network. The limited predictability, nonlinearity, and self-organized criticality of the flares allow us to study systems of flares in the field of the complex systems. Both the occurrence time and the location of flares detected from 2006 January 1 to 2016 July 21 are used to design the growing flares network. The solar surface is divided into cells with equal areas. The cells, which include flares, are considered nodes of the network. The related links are equivalent to sympathetic flaring. The extracted features demonstrate that the network of flares follows quantitative measures of complexity. The power-law nature of the connectivity distribution with a degree exponent greater than three reveals that flares form a scale-free and small-world network. A large value for the clustering coefficient, a small characteristic path length, and a slow change of the diameter are all characteristics of the flares network. We show that the degree correlation of the flares network has the characteristics of a disassortative network. About 11% of the large energetic flares (M and X types in GOES classification) that occurred in the network hubs cover 3% of the solar surface.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The original catalog lists the flare stars discovered by different astronomical observatories over an area slightly larger than 20 square degrees in the Pleiades regions centered on Alcyone. Not all the flare stars are members of this cluster, membership indicators are provided in the catalog. The catalog, combining Tables 1 and 2 of the publication, gives the data for 1531 flares of 519 flare stars.

- UBV(RI)c photometry of active stars. IX
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- As a part of an extensive program focused on the global properties and evolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_c_ and UBV photometry of 31 selected stars is presented. The UBV(RI)_c_ observations were collected at the European Southern Observatory over the 31 December 1992-18 January 1993 and the 20 November-3 December 1993 intervals. Additional UBV photometry obtained by the ``Phoenix" and by the Catania Astrophysical Observatory Automatic Photoelectric Telescopes from 1990 to 1993 is also presented for some of the program stars. Significant evolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence for long-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found. Some spectral classifications are revised and the inferred photometric parallaxes are compared, whenever possible, with the values measured by the Hipparcos satellite (Cat. <I/239>). These observations are finalized to the construction of an extended photometric database, which can give important clues on topics such as the stability of spotted areas, differential rotation, solar-like cycles and the correlation between inhomogeneities at different atmospheric levels.

- Description:
- In the framework of an extensive program focusing on the global properties and evolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)c photometry of 19 selected stars, collected at ESO over the 15-31 March 1991 interval is presented. Significant evolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence for long-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found. Most of the spectral classification are discussed. A flare event was detected for the star HD 127535 = V841 Cen. These observations contribute to the establishment of a time-extended photometric database which can give important clues on topics such as the stability of spotted areas, differential rotation, solar-like cycles and the correlation between inhomogeneities at different atmospheric levels.

- Description:
- As part of an extensive program focused on the global properties and evolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)c and UBV photometry of 18 selected stars is presented. UBV(RI)c observations were collected at the European Southern Observatory over the intervals 21-28 September 1994 and 25 November - 05 December 1994. Additional UBV photometry obtained late in 1994 by Catania Astrophysical Observatory Automatic Photoelectric Telescope is also presented. Significant evolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence for long-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found. Some spectral classifications are revised and photometric parallaxes are compared, whenever possible, with the values measured by the Hipparcos satellite.

- Variability in UV line emission of F-M stars
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/211/9
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Variations in stellar flux can potentially overwhelm the photometric signal of a transiting planet. Such variability has not previously been well-characterized in the ultraviolet lines used to probe the inflated atmospheres surrounding hot Jupiters. Therefore, we surveyed 38 F-M stars for intensity variations in four narrow spectroscopic bands: two enclosing strong lines from species known to inhabit hot Jupiter atmospheres, C.II {lambda}{lambda}1334, 1335 and SiIII{lambda}1206; one enclosing SiIV {lambda}{lambda}1393, 1402; and 36.5{AA} of interspersed continuum. For each star/band combination, we generated 60s cadence lightcurves from archival Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph time-tagged photon data. Within these lightcurves, we characterized flares and stochastic fluctuations as separate forms of variability. Flares: we used a cross-correlation approach to detect 116 flares. These events occur in the time-series an average of once per 2.5hr, over 50% last 4 minutes or less, and most produce the strongest response in SiIV. If the flare occurred during a transit measurement integrated for 60 minutes, 90/116 would destroy the signal of an Earth, 27/116 Neptune, and 7/116 Jupiter, with the upward bias in flux ranging from 1% to 109% of quiescent levels. Fluctuations: photon noise and underlying stellar fluctuations produce scatter in the quiescent data. We model the stellar fluctuations as Gaussian white noise with standard deviation {sigma}_x_. Maximum likelihood values of {sigma}_x_ range from 1% to 41% for 60s measurements. These values suggest that many cool stars will only permit a transit detection to high confidence in ultraviolet resonance lines if the radius of the occulting disk is >~1R_J_. However, for some M dwarfs this limit can be as low as several R_{oplus}_.

- Variable stars in a VLT/VIMOS field in Carina
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- We have searched for variable stars in deep V-band images of a field towards the Galactic plane in Carina. The images were taken with VIMOS instrument at ESO VLT during 4 contiguous nights in April 2005. We detected 348 variables among 50897 stars in the magnitude range between V=15.4 and V=24.5mag. Upon detection, we classified the variables by direct eye inspection of their light curves. All variable objects but 9 OGLE transits in the field are new discoveries. We provide a complete catalog of all variables which includes eclipsing/ellipsoidal binaries, miscellaneous pulsators (mostly delta Scuti-type variables), stars with flares and other (irregular and likely long-period) variables. Only two of the stars in our sample are known to host planets. Our result give some implications for future large variability surveys.

- White-light flares on close binaries from Kepler
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/224/37
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Based on Kepler data, we present the results of a search for white light flares on 1049 close binaries. We identify 234 flare binaries, of which 6818 flares are detected. We compare the flare-binary fraction in different binary morphologies ("detachedness"). The result shows that the fractions in over-contact and ellipsoidal binaries are approximately 10%-20% lower than those in detached and semi-detached systems. We calculate the binary flare activity level (AL) of all the flare binaries, and discuss its variations along the orbital period (P_orb_) and rotation period (P_rot_, calculated for only detached binaries). We find that the AL increases with decreasing P_orb_ or P_rot_, up to the critical values at P_orb_~3 days or P_rot_~1.5 days, and thereafter the AL starts decreasing no matter how fast the stars rotate. We examine the flaring rate as a function of orbital phase in two eclipsing binaries on which a large number of flares are detected. It appears that there is no correlation between flaring rate and orbital phase in these two binaries. In contrast, when we examine the function with 203 flares on 20 non-eclipse ellipsoidal binaries, bimodal distribution of amplitude-weighted flare numbers shows up at orbital phases 0.25 and 0.75. Such variation could be larger than what is expected from the cross section modification.

- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of a search for white-light flares on ~23000 cool dwarfs in the Kepler Quarter 1 long cadence data. We have identified 373 flaring stars, some of which flare multiple times during the observation period. We calculate relative flare energies, flare rates, and durations and compare these with the quiescent photometric variability of our sample.

- Description:
- Solar abundance fits to the quiescent spectra 1-3 and 20-35 were made with a two-component thermal plasma (model 1a) whereas sub-solar abundance fits to the quiescent spectra were made with a one-component thermal plasma (model 2a). Modifications of these models were used for the flare spectra 4-19 in order to account for the `quiescent background'. Thus solar abundance fits to the flare spectra were made with a thermal plasma of two variable components plus two components kept constant at the average quiescent values T_qu,cool=2.46*10^6K, EM_qu,cool=0.49*10^53cm^-3, T_qu,hot =17.8*10^6K, EM_qu,hot=1.95*10^53cm^-3, and z=1.00 (model 1b). Sub-solar abundance fits to the flare spectra were made with a plasma of one variable component plus one component kept constant at the average quiescent values T_qu=13.0*10^6K, EM_qu=5.20*10^53cm^-3, and z=0.10 (model 2b). In both cases the mean values of spectra 3, and 20-35 were used to account for the quiescent emission.
