X-RAY FLARES OF EV Lac: STATISTICS, SPECTRA, AND DIAGNOSTICS

We study the spectral and temporal behavior of X-ray flares from the active M dwarf EV Lac in 200 ks of exposure with the Chandra/HETGS. We derive flare parameters by fitting an empirical function which characterizes the amplitude, shape, and scale. The flares range from very short (<1 ks) to lon...
