The Extreme-ultraviolet Continuum of a Strong Stellar Flare
We present the serendipitous detection of an extreme-ultraviolet flare on EUVE J0613 23.9B. The flare showed over a 200-fold increase above the quiescent emission in the DS/Lexan 60–200 Å wavelength band. Optical spectroscopy revealed that the event was associated with an active dM3.5e star. The EUVE spectra are dominated by emission lines formed at temperatures in excess of 10 K. The observati...
متن کاملFlare Heating in Stellar Coronae
An open question in the field of solar and stellar astrophysics is the source of heating that causes stellar coronae to reach temperatures of millions of degrees. One possibility is that the coronae are heated by a large number of small flares. On the Sun, flares with energies as low as those of microflares are distributed with energy as a power law of the form dN dE ∝ E −α with α ≈ 1.8, and α ...
متن کاملChemical and Photometric Evolution of Extended Ultraviolet Disks: Optical Spectroscopy
We present the results from the analysis of optical spectra of 31 H -selected regions in the extended UV (XUV) disks of M83 (NGC 5236) and NGC 4625 recently discovered byGALEX. The spectra were obtained using IMACS at the Las Campanas Observatory 6.5 mMagellan I telescope and COSMIC at the Palomar 200 inch (5 m) telescope, respectively, for M83 and NGC 4625. The line ratios measured indicate ne...
متن کاملA radio jet from the optical and x-ray bright stellar tidal disruption flare ASASSN-14li.
The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole leads to a short-lived thermal flare. Despite extensive searches, radio follow-up observations of known thermal stellar tidal disruption flares (TDFs) have not yet produced a conclusive detection. We present a detection of variable radio emission from a thermal TDF, which we interpret as originating from a newly launched jet. The multi...
متن کاملStis Ultraviolet/optical Spectroscopy of 'warm' Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
We present high spatial resolution ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy, obtained using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope, of nuclear structures within four 'warm' Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We find an AGN in at least three, and probably all four of our sample, hosted in a compact, optically luminous 'knot'. In three cases these knots we...
