Subject: [vsnet-chat 5765] More on flare stars

Dear friends of Vsnet chat:
Before Christmas, Sebastian Otero wrote that he was interested in observing 
flare stars and he asked some interesting topics about these, from my point 
of view, amazing kind of variable stars. All I know is that are dwarf 
stars(right or no?) with a strong magnetic activity. I usually go to a solar 
observatory and I`m rather used to see flares in the Sun and to follow their 
short evolution. But I wonder, what is to see a flare star like? Do they 
have any period or cycle? What kind of research can I do with my purely 
visual observations? Any profesional around, perhaps, investigating them? 
What`s the job of a flare star observer like? All you can tell me about will 
be really useful.
Thanks anyway and best regards to everybody
