[vsnet-flare 28] Re: [vsnet-chat 5778] Flare stars and other rapid brightenings

Sebastian wrote, with Stan and Taichi concurring:

   A very useful bit of information is how often flares occur in a given
star.  It's also important to known what the magnitude range during
a flare is (obviously, a minimum range for most observations).  Even
if no one else observes a flare, your observation of it is useful and
important.  These are fun stars and you shouldn't feel discouraged
about observing them - there sort of like fast CVs!


Best wishes,
Thom Gandet
