ABSTRACTFour large flare events – one on each of the dMe stars UV Cet, AT Mic, EV Lac and EQ Peg – have been witnessed during a total of 17½ hours of far-UV (λλ1150-1950) IUE exposures. Some observational characteristics of these four events are compared. Two showed strong enhancements of chromospheric and transition-region line strengths. The other two did not, even though their visible flares were intense (ΔU ~ 2 mag). The brightest UV flare spectrum (EQ Peg) is contrasted with that of the largest solar flare seen from ‘Skylab’.

The aim of this paper is to structure and extend the knowledge of solar chromospheric sources of oscillations in the solar wind and their relationships with pulsations registered in the magnetosphere. We compare the oscillation spectra that we observe using instruments of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics in different chromospheric structures with those observed in the solar wind and magnetosphere. We explore the possibility that the observed periodic variations of the chromospheric line widths can be interpreted as torsional Alfvén wave manifestation—this mode can propagate long distances without dissipating in the interplanetary space; it can penetrate into Earth’s magnetosphere directly or due to processes occurring at the plasmapause. We emphasize the similarities in the oscillation characteristics observed in different media, the similarities in the parameters of the media themselves and the processes developing in them. We believe that similar approaches can be applied to studying these media.

Observations of the Hyades cluster with the Einstein Observatory and with IUE have uncovered a high level of coronal x-ray emission (Lx≃1029 era s-1 for solar-type stars) and similarly high fluxes of chromospheric and transition region line fluxes compared to the gun (Stern et al.1981, Zolcinski et al. 1981, 1982). A giant x-ray flare from a spectroscopic binary system in the Hyades has also been reported (Stern, Antiochos and Underwood 1982).

AbstractThe low resolution, phase averaged SWP spectra reveal the trend of increased transition-region line intensities for higher temperatures of ion formation which was previously observed for other active systems. Two series of low resolution LWR spectra covering two full orbital periods have been used to check the photometric results from the ANS satellite and a good agreement is found for the 2200 Å band. Wavelength shifts and changes in the intensity of the blended Mg II emission feature are not inconsistent with the ANS result that the more massive component is the more active one in the W UMa system.
