X-ray astronomy of stellar coronae

M Güdel - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2004 - Springer
X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally
attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures …

25 years of self-organized criticality: solar and astrophysics

MJ Aschwanden, NB Crosby, M Dimitropoulou… - Space Science …, 2016 - Springer
Shortly after the seminal paper “Self-Organized Criticality: An explanation of 1/f noise” by
Bak et al.(1987), the idea has been applied to solar physics, in “Avalanches and the …

The active lives of stars: a complete description of the rotation and XUV evolution of F, G, K, and M dwarfs

CP Johnstone, M Bartel, M Güdel - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 - aanda.org
Aims. We study the evolution of the rotation and the high energy X-ray, extreme ultraviolet
(EUV), and Ly-α emission for F, G, K, and M dwarfs, with masses between 0.1 and 1.2 M⊙ …

The Kepler catalog of stellar flares

JRA Davenport - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A homogeneous search for stellar flares has been performed using every
available Kepler light curve. An iterative light curve de-trending approach was used to filter …

Kepler flares. II. The temporal morphology of white-light flares on GJ 1243

JRA Davenport, SL Hawley, L Hebb… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the largest sample of flares ever compiled for a single M dwarf, the active M4
star GJ 1243. Over 6100 individual flare events, with energies ranging from 10 29 to 10 33 …

Bayesian estimation of hardness ratios: Modeling and computations

T Park, VL Kashyap, A Siemiginowska… - The Astrophysical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
A commonly used measure to summarize the nature of a photon spectrum is the so-called
hardness ratio, which compares the numbers of counts observed in different passbands. The …

Suppression of coronal mass ejections in active stars by an overlying large-scale magnetic field: a numerical study

JD Alvarado-Gómez, JJ Drake, O Cohen… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present results from a set of numerical simulations aimed at exploring the mechanism of
coronal mass ejection (CME) suppression in active stars by an overlying large-scale …

X-ray spectroscopy of stars

M Güdel, Y Nazé - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Non-degenerate stars of essentially all spectral classes are soft X-ray sources. Their X-ray
spectra have been important in constraining physical processes that heat plasma in stellar …

Physical processes in magnetically driven flares on the sun, stars, and young stellar objects

AO Benz, M Güdel - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The first flare on the Sun was observed exactly 150 years ago. During most of the long
history, only secondary effects have been noticed, so flares remained a riddle. Now the …

The Sun in time: activity and environment

M Güdel - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2007 - Springer
The Sun's magnetic activity has steadily declined during its main-sequence life. While the
solar photospheric luminosity was about 30% lower 4.6 Gyr ago when the Sun arrived on …
