Coronal loops: observations and modeling of confined plasma

F Reale - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2014 - Springer
Coronal loops are the building blocks of the X-ray bright solar corona. They owe their
brightness to the dense confined plasma, and this review focuses on loops mostly as …

X-ray astronomy of stellar coronae

M Güdel - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2004 - Springer
X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally
attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures …

Physical processes in magnetically driven flares on the sun, stars, and young stellar objects

AO Benz, M Güdel - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The first flare on the Sun was observed exactly 150 years ago. During most of the long
history, only secondary effects have been noticed, so flares remained a riddle. Now the …

Bright X-ray flares in orion young stars from COUP: evidence for star-disk magnetic fields?

F Favata, E Flaccomio, F Reale, G Micela… - The Astrophysical …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We have analyzed a number of intense X-ray flares observed in the Chandra Orion
Ultradeep Project (COUP), a 13 day observation of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) …

A deep Chandra survey of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae: catalog of point sources

CO Heinke, JE Grindlay, PD Edmonds… - The Astrophysical …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We have detected 300 X-ray sources within the half-mass radius (2 farcm 79) of the globular
cluster 47 Tucanae in a deep (281 ks) Chandra exposure. We perform photometry and …

The mouse that roared: a superflare from the dMe flare star EV lac detected by swift and konus-wind

RA Osten, O Godet, S Drake, J Tueller… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on a large stellar flare from the nearby dMe flare star EV Lac observed by the Swift
and Konus-Wind satellites and the Liverpool Telescope. It is the first large stellar flare from a …

Stellar coronal astronomy

F Favata, G Micela - Space Science Reviews, 2003 - Springer
Coronal astronomy is by now a fairly mature discipline, with a quarter century having gone
by since the detection of the first stellar X-ray coronal source (Capella), and having …

The density of coronal plasma in active stellar coronae

P Testa, JJ Drake, G Peres - The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We have analyzed high-resolution X-ray spectra of a sample of 22 active stars observed with
the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on Chandra in order to investigate their …

The XMM-Newton view of stellar coronae: X-ray spectroscopy of the corona of AB Doradus

M Güdel, M Audard, K Briggs, F Haberl… - Astronomy & …, 2001 - aanda.org
We report results of deep X-ray observations of AB Doradus obtained with the XMM-Newton
observatory during its Performance Verification phase. The main objective of the analysis is …

The global magnetic topology of AB Doradus

M Jardine, A Collier Cameron… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
Abstract We have used Zeeman–Doppler maps of the surface field of the young, rapid
rotator AB Dor (P rot= 0.514 d) to extrapolate the coronal field, assuming it to be potential …
