Stellar flares

AF Kowalski - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2024 - Springer
Magnetic storms on stars manifest as remarkable, randomly occurring changes of the
luminosity over durations that are tiny in comparison to the normal evolution of stars. These …

Physical processes in magnetically driven flares on the sun, stars, and young stellar objects

AO Benz, M Güdel - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The first flare on the Sun was observed exactly 150 years ago. During most of the long
history, only secondary effects have been noticed, so flares remained a riddle. Now the …

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs-High-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of 324 survey stars

A Reiners, M Zechmeister, JA Caballero… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
The CARMENES radial velocity (RV) survey is observing 324 M dwarfs to search for any
orbiting planets. In this paper, we present the survey sample by publishing one CARMENES …

The stellar-activity–rotation relationship and the evolution of stellar dynamos

NJ Wright, JJ Drake, EE Mamajek… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a sample of 824 solar and late-type stars with X-ray luminosities and rotation
periods. This is used to study the relationship between rotation and stellar activity and derive …

Updated atomic data and calculations for X-ray spectroscopy

AR Foster, L Ji, RK Smith… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe the latest release of AtomDB, version 2.0. 2, a database of atomic data and a
plasma modeling code with a focus on X-ray astronomy. This release includes several major …

Stellar winds on the main-sequence-II. The evolution of rotation and winds

CP Johnstone, M Güdel, I Brott, T Lüftinger - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 - aanda.org
Aims. We study the evolution of stellar rotation and wind properties for low-mass main-
sequence stars. Our aim is to use rotational evolution models to constrain the mass loss …

CARMENES input catalogue of M dwarfs-IV. New rotation periods from photometric time series

ED Alonso, JA Caballero, D Montes… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Aims. The main goal of this work is to measure rotation periods of the M-type dwarf stars
being observed by the CARMENES exoplanet survey to help distinguish radial-velocity …

X-ray spectroscopy of stars

M Güdel, Y Nazé - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Non-degenerate stars of essentially all spectral classes are soft X-ray sources. Their X-ray
spectra have been important in constraining physical processes that heat plasma in stellar …

The Sun in time: activity and environment

M Güdel - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2007 - Springer
The Sun's magnetic activity has steadily declined during its main-sequence life. While the
solar photospheric luminosity was about 30% lower 4.6 Gyr ago when the Sun arrived on …

CARMENES input catalog of M dwarfs-VII. New rotation periods for the survey stars and their correlations with stellar activity

Y Shan, D Revilla, SL Skrzypinski, S Dreizler… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
Aims. Knowledge of rotation periods (P rot) is important for understanding the magnetic
activity and angular momentum evolution of late-type stars, as well as for evaluating radial …
