Notes of frequency of occurence and energetics of the solar-type stellar flares

TL;DR

This paper compares 30-year ground-based and recent Kepler data to analyze the frequency and energetics of solar-type stellar flares, finding proportionality to stellar surface size and consistent maximum flare radiation estimates.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of flare occurrence and energetics using long-term ground-based and space-based observations, highlighting proportionality to stellar surface size.

Findings

Flares occur more frequently on larger stellar surfaces.

Maximum flare radiation estimates are consistent across observation methods.

Flares' occurrence frequency is proportional to stellar surface size.

Abstract

On the basis of the 30-year ago ground-based photometry and the recent Kepler space experiment there have been considered frequencies of occurrence and energetics of the solar-type stellar flares. It was concluded that frequencies of occurrence of such flares are proportional to sizes of stellar surfaces, and estimates of maximum flare radiation from the results of the ground-based photometry and space observations practically coincide.
