Recently, the Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) detected the longest-lasting and most energetic stellar X-ray flare event from HD 251108. In this work, we re-determined the atmospheric parameters of HD 251108 using three spectroscopic…
We report on the results of high dispersion spectroscopy of two `superflare stars', KIC 9766237, and KIC 9944137 with Subaru/HDS. Superflare stars are G-type main sequence stars, but show gigantic flares compared to the Sun, which have been…
In this work, we studied X-ray source SRGe~J021932.4$-$040154 (SRGe J021932), which we associated with a single X-ray active star of spectral class G2V-G4V and the rotational period $\rm P_{rot} < 9.3$ days. Additional analysis of TESS…
The Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) detected a new X-ray transient on 2022 November 7, identified as a superflare event occurring on a nearby K-type giant star HD 251108. The flux increase was also detected in follow-up observations…
This paper presents results from Kepler photometric light curves and high-resolution spectroscopic study of a super Li-rich giant KIC11087027. Using the light curve analysis, we measured the star's rotational period P$_{\rm…
We analyze a Chandra-HETGS observation of the single G-type giant HR 9024. The high flux allows us to examine spectral line and continuum diagnostics at high temporal resolution, to derive plasma parameters (thermal distribution,…
Young solar-type stars are known to show frequent "superflares", which may severely influence the habitable worlds on young planets via intense radiations and coronal mass ejections. Here we report an optical spectroscopic and photometric…
We intensively studied the flare activity on the stellar object KIC011764567. The star was thought to be solar type, with a temperature of $T_{eff} = (5640 \pm 200)\,$K, $\log(g) = (4.3 \pm 0.3)\,$dex and a rotational period of Prot 22 d…
The most powerful superflares reaching 10$^{39}$erg bolometric energy are from giant stars. The mechanism behind flaring is supposed to be the magnetic reconnection, which is closely related to magnetic activity including starspots.…
We conducted the high-resolution spectroscopic observation with Subaru/HDS for a G-type star (KIC6934317). We selected this star from the data of the Kepler spacecraft. This star produces a lot of superflares, and the total energy of the…
HD 110432 (BZ Cru; B1Ve) is the brightest member of a small group of "gamma Cas analogs" that emit copious hard X-ray flux, punctuated by ubiquitous "flares." To characterize the X-ray time history of this star, we made a series of six RXTE…
The very first stars in the Universe can be very massive, up to $10^6M_\odot$. They would leave behind massive black holes that could act as seeds for growing super massive black holes of active galactic nuclei. Given the anticipated fast…
In the present paper, we analyze three energetic X-ray flares from the active RS CVn binary HR 1099 using data obtained from XMM-Newton. The flare duration ranges from 2.8 to 4.1 h, with e-folding rise and decay times in the range of 27 to…
We determine the exact physical parameters of the four Hyades cluster K giants, using their parallaxes and atmospheric modeling of our red-channel TIGRE high-resolution spectra. Performing a comparison with well-tested evolutionary tracks,…
Abridged. Here we report on the X-ray activity of the primary star, HD189733 A, using a new XMM-Newton observation and a comparison with the previous X-ray observations. The spectrum in the quiescent intervals is described by two…
We analyzed here the connection of superflares and the lithium abundance in G and K stars based on Li abundance determinations conducted with the echelle spectra of a full set of 280 stars obtained with the ELODIE spectrograph. For…
In strong stellar and solar flares flare loops typically appear during the decay phase, providing an additional contribution to the flare emission and, possibly, obscuring the flare emission. Super-flares, common in active, cool stars,…
Flares are powerful events ignited by a sudden release of magnetic energy. With the aim of studying flares in the 125-Myr-old stars in the Pleiades observed simultaneously in optical and X-ray light, we obtained new XMM-Newton observations…
