The nearby flare stars.
Abstract
A review of the observed properties of solar neighborhood flare stars is presented and a catalog of such stars is provided. The role of duplicity is discussed in relation to stellar rotation and age. It appears that stellar rotation determines stellar activity levels in slowly rotating stars. It is seen that for rotation rates above five km per sec the activity levels saturate, making active flare stars into deviators from rotation-activity relationships established for other types of stars.
