The Preliminary Mauve Science Programme: Science themes identified for the first year of operations

Mauve Science Collaboration, Marcel Agueros, Don Dixon +22

Mauve is a low-cost small satellite developed and operated by Blue Skies Space Ltd. The payload features a 13 cm telescope connected with a fibre that feeds into a UV-Vis spectrome…

X-ray and Hα superflare on an RS CVn-type star, UX Arietis: Constraint on the flare location from radial velocity change during the flare

Sota Urabe, Yohko Tsuboi, Kosuke Namekata +5

We report on a giant stellar flare from the RS CVn-type binary UX Arietis, detected with the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) and followed by a 12-day optical spectroscopic ca…

Multiwavelength Campaign Observations of a Young Solar-type Star, EK Draconis. III. Comparison between Starspot Mapping, Zeeman Doppler Imaging, and Multiwavelength Variability

Kai Ikuta, Kosuke Namekata, Pascal Petit +12

Recent simultaneous multiwavelength observations of a nearby young solar-type star EK Dra in the optical, H spectrum, and X-ray, have provided evidence for stellar prominence e…

Do Young Suns Produce Frequent, Massive CMEs? Results from Five-year Dedicated Optical Observations of EK Draconis and V889 Hercules

Kosuke Namekata, Hiroyuki Maehara, Yuta Notsu +4

We report results from a five-year (132-night) dedicated observational campaign targeting two nearby young solar-type stars, EK Draconis (50-125 Myr age) and V889 Hercules ($…

Discovery of multi-temperature coronal mass ejection signatures from a young solar analogue

Kosuke Namekata, Kevin France, Jongchul Chae +14

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on the early Sun may have profoundly influenced the planetary atmospheres of early Solar System planets. Flaring young solar analogues serve as excell…

Temporal Variation of Flare Occurrence Rates via the Spot Evolution on the Sun and Solar-type Stars

Takato Tokuno, Kosuke Namekata, Hiroyuki Maehara +1

The spot evolution on the Sun and solar-type stars is important for understanding the nature of consequential flaring activity. This study statistically investigates the variance o…
