M dwarfs in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82: Photometric light curves and flare rate analysis

We present a flare rate analysis of 50,130 M dwarf light curves in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82. We identified 271 flares using a customized variability index to search ~2.5 million photometric observations for flux increases in the u and g bands. Every image of a flaring observation was exami...
