FUSE Observations of the Active K Dwarf AB Doradus
Abstract
In this paper we report on flaring activity observed in high time resolution FUV observations of the active K dwarf star AB Doradus, taken with the FUSE satellite. These observations include data on the C III (λ1175) and O VI (λλ1032,1037) lines as well as the FUV continuum. During 29 hours of observation, two large flares and >10 smaller events were observed. Here we describe the time history of these events as well as a search for unresolved microflaring activity.
