Description

We conducted photometric observations in multiple color bands (B , V, R) on selected target stars suspected of flare activity. The measurements were carried out using the 1 m RCC telescope of Konkoly Observatory. By comparing the light curves obtained through differential photometry in the three bands, we estimated the temperatures of the flares observed. Such temperature estimates derived from multiband photometry remain relatively rare, despite playing an important role in understanding the mechanisms of stellar flares.
