Abridged. We observed the 40 Myr old star DS Tuc A with XMM-Newton and recorded two X-ray bright flares, with the second event occurring about 12 ks after the first one. Their duration from the rise to the end of the decay was of about 8-10…

Context. The dynamics of the flaring loops in active region (AR) 11429 are studied. The observed dynamics consist of several evolution stages of the flaring loop system during both the ascending and descending phases of the registered…

In this paper, we present the results of an analysis of 481 weak solar flares, from A0.01 to the B \textit{GOES} class, that were observed during the period of extremely low solar activity from 2009 April to July. For all flares we measured…
