Activity - induced radial velocity jitter in a flaring M dwarf ⋆
We investigate the effect of stellar activity and flares on short-term radial velocity measurements in the mid-M flare star CN Leo. Radial velocity variations are calculated from 181 UVES spectra obtained during three nights. We searched for spectral orders that contain very few atmospheric absorption lines and calibrated them against the telluric A-band from O 2 in the Earth's atmosphere. One ...
متن کاملX-ray flaring activity of Markarian 421
We report results from a systematic search for X-ray flares from Mrk 421, using archival data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. The flares are clearly seen over a wide range of timescales. The quasicontinuous coverage of the source with the All-SkyMonitor (ASM) reveals frequent occurrence of major flares that last for months. On a few occasions, the source was intensively m...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Flaring and Sub-flaring Activity in the Solar Atmosphere
We review the observational, theoretical, and numerical efforts to interpret the statistical behavior of solar flares and sub-flares, and their role to coronal heating. The observed X-ray flares cannot heat the corona. The role of smaller-scale events is still inconclusive, although very recent observational evidence may shed light to the controversy. Statistical and classical modeling reproduc...
متن کاملPolarization in Sagittarius A*
We summarize the current state of polarization observations of Sagittarius A*, the compact radio source and supermassive black hole candidate in the Galactic Center. These observations are providing new tools for understanding accretion disks, jets and their environments. Linear polarization observations have shown that Sgr A* is unpolarized at frequencies as high as 86 GHz. However, recent sin...
متن کاملThe Complex VHE And Multiwavelength Flaring Activity
The blazar PKS 1510-089 was the first of the flat spectrum radio quasar type, which had been detected simultaneously by a ground based Cherenkov telescope (H.E.S.S.) and the LAT instrument on board the Fermi satellite. Given the strong broad line region emission defining this blazar class, and the resulting high optical depth for VHE (E > 100 GeV) γ-rays, it was surprising to detect VHE emissio...
