Flare Stars in Stellar Aggregates

Extract
After the report on flare stars presented by Ambartsumian and the author (1971) at the last Bamberg Colloquium, some success has been achieved in the study of these interesting objects.
Optical observations of stellar flares with high time-resolution undoubtedly proved the explosive character of this phenomenon and the non-thermal nature of the radiation that appears at least at the beginning of the flare. Parallel optical and radio observations of flares in stellar aggregates complicated the interpretation and showed how far we are from an understanding of the physical nature of this phenomenon. Finally, new optical observations of stellar flares in aggregates of different age confirmed the evolutionary significance of this stage in the life of a star and led to the study of certain regularities in the evolution of flare stars.
