چکیده

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) occurs just after the maximum chromospheric emission observed in the flare. A significant increase of the 6Li/7Li isotopic ratio is also detected. No significant simultaneous variations are detected in other photospheric lines. Neither line blends nor starspots seem to be the primary cause of the observed Li i line variation. From all this we suggest that this Li i enhancement is produced by spallation reactions during the flare.

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...

Letter to the Editor Periodic changes of veiling and circumstellar grey extinction in DF Tauri I. Dust clouds spiraling into a T Tauri star?

We present 110 simultaneous BV I photometric measurements and low resolution (≈ 400) spectra obtained during 17 consecutive days on the Classical T Tauri star DF Tau. Applying a new method for veiling extraction from low resolution spectra, we derive veiling curves in the B and V photometric bands which closely resemble their corresponding light curves. Analysis of the combined light and veilin...

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 ...
