We present the binary model and the eclipse timing variations of the eclipsing binary RR Cae, which consists of a white dwarf eclipsed by an M-type dwarf companion. The multi-wavelength optical photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet…

We report on two millimeter flares detected by ALMA at 220 GHz from AU Mic, a nearby M dwarf. The larger flare had a duration of only $\sim35$ sec, with peak $L_{R}=2\times10^{15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$, and lower limit on linear…

Recently, in a study the X-ray flaring activity of Sgr A* with Chandra and XMM-Newton public observations from 1999 to 2014 and 2014 Swift data, it has been argued that the "bright and very bright" flaring rate raised from 2014 Aug. 31.…

We report multi-wavelength monitoring observations of an M-dwarf flare star AD Leonis with Seimei Telescope (6150--7930 {\AA}), SCAT (Spectroscopic Chuo-university Astronomical Telescope; 3700--7500 {\AA}), NICER (Neutron Star Interior…

Observations of the T Tauri spectroscopic binary DQ Tau in April 2008 captured an unusual flare at 3 mm, which peaked at an observed max flux of 0.5 Jy (about 27x the quiescent value). Here we present follow-up mm observations that…

We report on broadband observations of CTA 102 ($z=1.037$) during the active states in 2016-2017. In the $\gamma$-ray band, Fermi LAT observed several prominent flares which followed a harder-when-brighter behavior: the hardest photon index…

We report the detection of eclipses in LSPM J1112+7626, which we find to be a moderately bright (I_C = 12.14 +/- 0.05) very low-mass binary system with an orbital period of 41.03236 +/- 0.00002 days, and component masses M_1 = 0.395 +/-…

We report the discovery of several optical burst-like events from the low-mass X-ray binary MS1603.6+2600 (UW CrB). The events last for a few tens of seconds, exhibit a very fast rise and slow decay, and involve optical brightening of a…

We describe a newly-discovered detached M-dwarf eclipsing binary system, the fourth such system known. This system was first observed by the TrES network during a long term photometry campaign of 54 nights. Analysis of the folded light…

We report results of the first search specifically targeting short-timescale X-ray flares from low-mass X-ray binaries in an early-type galaxy. A new method for flare detection is presented. In NGC 4697, the nearest, optically luminous,…

We present the results of a multi-wavelength Pro-Am campaign to study the behaviour of flares from the active M1.5V star binary CR Draconis. CR Dra was observed with TESS 20-s photometry, Swift near-UV (NUV) grism spectroscopy and with…

We present new analyses of ALMA 12-m and ACA observations at 233 GHz (1.3 mm) of the Proxima Centauri system with sensitivities of 9.5 and 47 $\mu$Jy beam$^{-1}$, respectively, taken from 2017 January 21 through 2017 April 25. These…

We study RXTE PCA data for the high mass X-ray binary source SMC X-1 between 2003-10 and 2003-12 when the source was in high states. The source is found to be frequently bursting which can be seen as flares in lightcurves on an average of…
