flare star  

Definición

  • A flare star is a red dwarf that displays sudden and unpredictable changes in light output lasting for a few minutes to a few hours. The flares are believed to occur in the star's chromosphere and to be similar in nature to solar flares but much more energetic. They occur irregularly, follow no predictable pattern, and can dramatically increase the star's brightness over a broad wavelength range from X-rays to radio waves.
