To search for optical variability on a wide range of timescales, we have carried out photometric monitoring of 3C 454.3, 3C 279 and S5 0716+714. CCD magnitudes in B, V, R and I pass-bands were determined for $\sim$ 7000 new optical…

We analyse oscillations observed in the X-ray light curve of the late-type star AT Mic. The oscillations occurred during flare maximum. We interpret these oscillations as density perturbations in the flare loop. Applying various models…

We analyze new and published optical photometric data of FU Orionis, an eruptive pre-main sequence star. The outburst consists of a 5.5 mag rise at B with an e-folding timescale of roughly 50 days. The rates of decline at B and V are…

Repeatedly flaring X-ray binaries have recently been discovered in NGC 4697 by Sivakoff and collaborators. We show that these flares can be explained as the result of eccentric binaries in globular clusters which accrete more rapidly at…

The flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C~454.3 throughout the years has presented very high activity phases (flares) in which the different wavebands increase their flux dramatically. In this work, we perform multiwavelength analysis from radio to…

A high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic observation was made of the RS CVn-type binary star HR 1099 using the Resolve instrument onboard XRISM for its calibration purposes. During the $\sim$400 ks telescope time covering 1.5 binary orbit, a…

We report the discovery of a new totally-eclipsing binary (RA=06:40:29.11; Dec=+38:56:52.2; J=2000.0; Rmax=17.2 mag) with an sdO primary and a strongly irradiated red dwarf companion. It has an orbital period of Porb=0.187284394(11) d and…

We present the results of a 7 year long photometric monitoring of two components (A and B) of UM 425, thought to be images, separated by 6.5", of the same z = 1.47 quasar. These components have been imaged through an R filter in order to…

White-light superflares from ultra cool stars are thought to be resulted from magnetic reconnection, but the magnetic dynamics in a fully convective star is not clear yet. In this paper, we report a stellar superflare detected with the…

The AT 2018cow-like fast blue optical transient AT2022tsd showed a large number of few-minute-duration, high-luminosity (~10^43 erg/s) flares. We present an intensive search for such flares from another 18cow-like event, AT2024wpp. We have…

KIC 7341653 is one of several late-type M dwarfs observed in the main mission of Kepler with peculiar infrared colors placing them in the domain of suspected young stellar objects (YSO). It is likely associated with a powerful X-ray emitter…
