X-ray emission from stellar flares: EXOSAT results.
Abstract
The authors present an overview of recent observations of stellar X-ray flares obtained with the EXOSAT Observatory. They discuss a few examples of flares from M dwarf flare stars, from RS CVn and Algol-type binaries, from single late-type stars (including a GO dwarf and an A-type visual binary), and from pre-main-sequence objects. The authors also draw some general conclusions from the preliminary analysis of the EXOSAT data samples.
