Stellar flares observed by LOFT: implications for the physics of coronae and for the "space weather" environment of extrasolar planets
Abstract
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT for the study of stellar flares. For a summary, we refer to the paper.
