Abstract:
In this paper we report on flaring activity observed in high time resolution
FUV observations of the active K dwarf star AB Doradus, taken with
the FUSE satellite. These observations include data on the C III
(lamba 1175) and O VI (lambda lambda 1032,1037) lines as well as the FUV
continuum. During 29 hours of observation, two large flares and > 10
smaller events were observed. Here we describe the time history of these
events as well as a search for unresolved microflaring activity.
