Li i enhancement during a long - duration stellar flare

Letter to the Editor Li I enhancement during a long-duration stellar flare

We report the possible detection of a Li i λ6708 Å line enhancement during an unusual long-duration optical flare in the recently discovered, X-ray/EUV selected, chromospherically active binary 2RE J0743+224. The Li i equivalent width (EW) variations follow the temporal evolution of the flare and large changes are observed in the intensity of the line. The maximum Li i enhancement (40% in EW) o...

2RE J0743+224 (BD +23 1799) is a chromospherically active star selected by X-rays and EUV emission detected in the Einstein Slew Survey and ROSAT Wide Field Camara (WFC) all sky survey, and classified as single-lined spectroscopic binary by (Jeffries et al. 1995). We present here high resolution echelle spectroscopic observations of this binary, obtained during a 10 night run 12-21 January 1998...

Optical and UV observations of a strong flare in the young , single K 2 - dwarf LQ Hya ⋆

We present high resolution optical echelle spectra and IUE observations during a strong flare on 1993 December 22 in the very active, young, rapidly rotating, single K2 dwarf LQ Hya. The initial impulsive phase of the flare, which started sometime between 2:42 UT and 4:07 UT, was characterized by strong optical continuum enhancement and blue-shifted emission lines with broad wings. The optical ...

A half - a - day long thermonuclear X - ray burst from KS 1731 − 260

We report on an approximately twelve hour long X-ray flare from the low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731−260. The flare has a rise time of less than 13min and declines exponentially with a decay time of 2.7 hours. The flare emission is well described by black-body radiation with peak temperature of 2.4 keV. The total energy release from the event is 10 erg (for an assumed distance of 7 kpc). The flare...
