Monitoring of FR Cnc Flaring Activity

TL;DR

This study involved photometric monitoring of FR Cnc to observe its flaring activity, revealing that such flares are very rare, based on observations from Crimean and Terskol Observatories.

Contribution

First extensive photometric monitoring of FR Cnc post initial flare detection, providing insights into the rarity of flaring events on this star.

Findings

No new flares detected during the observation period.

Flares on FR Cnc are very rare events.

Lightcurves analyzed for flare activity.

Abstract

Being excited by the detection of the first ever-observed optical flare in FR Cnc, we decided to continue photometrical monitoring of this object. The observations were carried out at Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (Crimea, Ukraine; CrAO - hereafter) and at the Terskol Observatory (Russia, Northern Caucasus). The obtained lightcurves are presented and discussed. No distinguishable flares were detected that could imply that flares on FR Cnc are very rare event.
