M dwarf flares from SDSS spectra

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have identified 63 flares on M dwarfs from the individual component spectra in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using a novel measurement of emission-line strength called the Flare Line Index.

Description

Each of the ~38000M dwarfs in the SDSS low-mass star spectroscopic sample of West et al. (2008, Cat. J/AJ/135/785) was observed several times (usually 3-5) in exposures that were typically 9-25 minutes in duration.

Our criteria allowed us to identify flares that exhibit very strong H{alpha} and H{beta} emission-line strength and/or significant variability in those lines throughout the course of the exposures. The flares we identified have characteristics consistent with flares observed by classical spectroscopic monitoring.
