Stellar Flares from the First TESS Data Release: Exploring a New Sample of M Dwarfs (2019, background): “Stellar flares like the Carrington event are explosive magnetic reconnection events in a star’s magnetosphere, releasing bursts of isotropic radiation (see e.g. Benz & Güdel 2010; Shibata & Takasao 2016; Doyle et al. 2018).”
MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF SOLAR ACTIVE REGIONS THAT GOVERN LARGE SOLAR FLARES AND ERUPTIONS (2016, background): “Observations show that similar flaring phenomena are found in a wide variety of stars (Benz & Güdel 2010).”
WHITE-LIGHT FLARES ON COOL STARS IN THE KEPLER QUARTER 1 DATA (2010, background): “…reconnection events, the field geometry reconfigures to a lower energy state, often accelerating energetic particles down towards the stellar atmosphere and causing a plethora of observable effects over a wide range in wavelength (for a recent review of flare processes, see Benz & Güdel 2010).”
Do Kepler Superflare Stars Really Include Slowly Rotating Sun-like Stars?—Results Using APO 3.5 m Telescope Spectroscopic Observations and Gaia-DR2 Data (2019, background): “…stars, close binary stars, and dMe stars tend to show high magnetic activity levels, and magnetic fields of a few kG are considered to be distributed in large regions on the stellar surface (e.g., Gershberg 2005; Reid & Hawley 2005; Benz & Güdel 2010; Kowalski et al. 2010; Osten et al. 2016).”
