Extreme solar events

EW Cliver, CJ Schrijver, K Shibata… - Living Reviews in Solar …, 2022 - Springer
We trace the evolution of research on extreme solar and solar-terrestrial events from the
1859 Carrington event to the rapid development of the last twenty years. Our focus is on the …

Carrington events

HS Hudson - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
The Carrington event in 1859, a solar flare with an associated geomagnetic storm, has
served as a prototype of possible superflare occurrence on the Sun. Recent geophysical …

Statistical properties of superflares on solar-type stars: results using all of the Kepler primary mission data

S Okamoto, Y Notsu, H Maehara… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the latest statistical analyses of superflares on solar-type (G-type main-sequence;
effective temperature is 5100–6000 K) stars using all of the Kepler primary mission data and …

Flare statistics for young stars from a convolutional neural network analysis of TESS data

AD Feinstein, BT Montet, M Ansdell… - The Astronomical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
All-sky photometric time-series missions have allowed for the monitoring of thousands of

Properties of flare events based on light curves from the TESS survey

Z Yang, L Zhang, G Meng, XL Han, P Misra… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Aims. A stellar flare is a strong energy burst event. Understanding stellar flares is important
for determining the properties of stellar magnetic activities. We aim to perform detailed …

Sun-as-a-star analyses of various solar active events using Hα spectral images taken by SMART/SDDI

T Otsu, A Asai, K Ichimoto, TT Ishii… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Sun-as-a-star analyses in which observational data is spatially integrated are useful for
