MY RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
A Superflare on an Eclipsing Binary
A >1.3 days long duration X-ray Superflare has been observed on an Eclipsing binary SZ Psc. The superflare missed both the primary and...
Quasi-Periodic Pulsation in the decay phase of a flare on AB Dor
Oscillation periods versus damping times of monotonously-decaying quasi-harmonic quasi-periodic pulsation (QPP) occurring the decay...
From Swift BAT+XRT spectra, and Iron Kα fluorescence line estimating flare location
Modeling of 6.4 keV line flux for the seven time intervals during the decay of a flare on CC Eri. The solid horizontal lines show the...
Brightest, hottest and shortest-duration X-ray Superflare ever observed on CC Eri using Swift
The flare F1 triggered Swift’s Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on 2008 October 16 UT 11:22:52 (=T01) during a preplanned spacecraft slew....
Evolution of Temperature, emission measure, and abundances during flaring events on M-dwarf binary
Evolution of spectral parameters of EQ Peg have been shown. These parameters have been estimated from time-resolved spectroscopy. From...
