Calibrating M dwarf metallicities using molecular indices
We report progress in the calibration of a method to determine cool dwarf star metallicities using molecular band strength indices. The molecular band index to metallicity relation can be calibrated using chemical abundances calculated from atomic line equivalent width measurements in high resolution spectra. Building on previous work, we have measured Fe and Ti abundances in 32 additional M an...
متن کاملThe periodic variations of a white–light flare observed with ULTRACAM
High time resolution observations of a white–light flare on the active star EQ PegB show evidence of intensity variations with a period of ≈10 s. The period drifts to longer values during the decay phase of the flare. If the oscillation is interpreted as an impulsively–excited, standing–acoustic wave in a flare loop, the period implies a loop length of ≈1.7 Mm and ≈3.4 Mm for the case of the fu...
متن کاملFlare Energy and Magnetic Field Variations
We describe ways in which the photospheric vector magnetic field might vary across the duration of a solar flare or CME. We also quantitatively assess the back reaction on the photosphere and solar interior by the coronal field evolution required to release flare energy. Our estimates suggest that the work done by Lorentz forces in this back reaction could supply enough energy to explain observ...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Measurements of Flare-to-Flare Variations in Ambient Solar Abundances
We have measured uxes of ten narrow-ray lines in 19 X-class solar ares observed by the Solar Maximum Mission spectrometer from 1980 to 1989. These lines originate from interaction of energetic protons and-particles with ambient solar material. Flare-to-are variations in line uxes reveal that the abundances of elements in the are plasma are grouped with respect to their rst ionization potentials...
متن کاملInterpreting a Dwarf Nova Eruption as Magnetic Flare Activity
We suggest that the radio emission from the dwarf nova SS Cyg during outburst comes from magnetic activity that formed a corona (similar to coronae found in magnetically active stars), rather than from jets. We base our claim on the recent results of Laor & Behar, who found that when the ratio between radio and X-ray flux of accretion disks in radio-quiet quasars is as in active stars, Lr/Lx . ...
