Abstract

An investigation of the activity of the flare star AD Leo was made using U-band patrol observations. 60 cm computer-controlled telescopes with identical single channel photon-counting photometers at the National Astronomical Observatory at Rozhen and at the Belogradchik Observatory were used. The integration time was 1 sec. Differential photometry was carried out, the AD Leo measurements were made relative to BD+20°2475. The data was reduced with the program package APR (Kirov et al. 1991).Two simultaneous observing runs were made. The results of the first have already been published (Antov etal. 1991). The other was part of the observational campaign in May, 1991 with the ROSAT satellite. In Bulgaria, the observations were carried out at Rozhen in the U-band and at Belogradchik in the B-band. Four flares were detected by both.
