Meter-decameter observations of dMe flare stars with the Clark lake Radio telescope

Abstract

The now-closed Clark Radio Observatory was used in 1984 and 1985 to search for flaring emission from a number of dMe flare stars in the 30.9 to 110.6 MHz frequency range. No emission was found to greatly exceed detection limits which range from about 1 Jy for 1 hr averaging, to about 50 Jy for 1 s averaging, even though flares were often seen to tens of mJy at 20 cm using the VLA for those times when VLA-CLRO observations were coordinated. There are marginal detections of flaring from AD Leo over two periods on December 15, 1985 which mark the beginning and the end of along-lasting, narrow-band flare at 1415 MHz.
