Determination of the Superflare Frequency Distribution Function of Solar-Type Stars

This is a statistical study of a sample of 1547 superflares in 270 stars found during an analysis of data on more than 80000 stars of the sun’s type (obtained by the Kepler orbital observatory during the first 500 days of observations). Estimates are given of the total number of stars capable of sup...

Description
Summary:This is a statistical study of a sample of 1547 superflares in 270 stars found during an analysis of data on more than 80000 stars of the sun’s type (obtained by the Kepler orbital observatory during the first 500 days of observations). Estimates are given of the total number of stars capable of superflares and the superflare distribution frequency function is determined.
