Dynamic activity in the outer atmospheres of late-type stars including the sun
Stars of solar type and cooler often display dramatic effects of magnetic fields in their atmosphere. These effects vary from relatively placid phenomena such as the dark photospheric spots and plages where there is enhanced emission in ionised calcium and magnesium to the much more energetic flares which erupt over short time scales. All of these
