Photometric observations of flares on Proxima Centauri.
Abstract
Proxima Centauri was observed photoelectrically in the period July-September 1987 with a newly-installed computer-interfaced photometer. Four definite flares and six further possible events were recorded. The level of Proxima's flaring activity was examined and no significant change since 1969 found.
