Archives of long photometric surveys, like the Kepler database, are a gold mine for studying flares. However, identifying them is a complex task; while in the case of single-target observations it can be easily done manually by visual…

We present the results of a search for white light flares on the ~23,000 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…

Wide-field high-precision photometric observations such as \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)} allowed the investigation of the stellar magnetic activity of cool stars. M-dwarf's starspots and stellar flares are the main…

All-sky photometric time-series missions have allowed for the monitoring of thousands of young ($t_{\rm age} < 800$Myr) to understand the evolution of stellar activity. Here we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN),…

The Kepler and TESS space missions significantly expanded our knowledge of what types of stars display flaring activity by recording a vast amount of super-flares from solar-like stars, as well as detecting flares from hotter stars of A-F…

Short duration flares are well known to occur on cool main-sequence stars as well as on many types of `exotic' stars. Ordinary main-sequence stars are usually pictured as being static on time scales of millions or billions of years. Our sun…

Stellar flares are intense bursts of radiation caused by magnetic reconnection on active stars. They are especially frequent on M dwarfs, where they can significantly influence the habitability of orbiting planets. Flare frequency…

Flares and CMEs can have deleterious effects on their surroundings: they can erode atmospheres of orbiting planets over time and also have high importance in stellar evolution. Most of the CME detections in the literature are single events…

Flares and CMEs are very powerful events in which energetic radiation and particles are ejected within a short time. These events thus can strongly affect planets that orbit these stars. This is particularly relevant for planets of M-stars,…

The distribution of small-scale magnetic fields in stellar photospheres is an important ingredient in our understanding of the magnetism of low mass stars. Their spatial distribution connects the field generated in the stellar interior with…

We study the waiting time distributions of solar flares observed in hard X-rays with ISEE-3/ICE, HXRBS/SMM, WATCH/GRANAT, BATSE/CGRO, and RHESSI. Although discordant results and interpretations have been published earlier, based on…

Stellar superflares are energetic outbursts of electromagnetic radiation, similar to solar flares but releasing more energy, up to $10^{36}$ erg on main sequence stars. It is unknown whether the Sun can generate superflares, and if so, how…

The Sun's history is still a subject of interest to modern astrophysics. Observationally constrained CME rates of young solar analogues are still lacking, as those require dedicated monitoring. We present medium resolution optical…

TESS has proven to be a powerful resource for finding planets, including those that orbit the most prevalent stars in our galaxy: the M dwarfs. Identification of stellar companions (both bound and unbound) has become a standard component of…

We present a flare catalog of the {\it Kepler} mission using the long-cadence data of Data Release 25. This catalog comprises 3420 flare stars and 162,262 flare events. A comparison shows that the flare catalogs of previous studies are…
