Recently, many superflares on solar-type stars have been discovered as white-light flares (WLFs). The statistical study found a correlation between their energies ($E$) and durations ($tau$): $tau propto E^{0.39}$ (Maehara et al. 2017 $EP& S$, 67, 59), similar to those of solar hard/soft X-ray flares: $tau propto E^{0.2-0.33}$. This indicates a universal mechanism of energy release on solar and stellar flares, i.e., magnetic reconnection. We here carried out a statistical research on 50 solar WLFs observed with textit{SDO}/HMI and examined the correlation between the energies and durations. As a result, the $E$--$tau$ relation on solar WLFs ($tau propto E^{0.38}$) is quite similar to that on stellar superflares ($tau propto E^{0.39}$). However, the durations of stellar superflares are one order of magnitude shorter than those expected from solar WLFs. We present the following two interpretations for the discrepancy. (1) In solar flares, the cooling timescale of WLFs may be longer than the reconnection one, and the decay time of solar WLFs can be elongated by the cooling effect. (2) The distribution can be understood by applying a scaling law ($tau propto E^{1/3}B^{-5/3}$) derived from the magnetic reconnection theory. In this case, the observed superflares are expected to have 2-4 times stronger magnetic field strength than solar flares.
Recently, many superflares on solar-type stars were discovered as white-light flares (WLFs). A correlation between the energies (E) and durations (t) of superflares is derived as $tpropto E^{0.39}$, and this can be theoretically explained by magnetic
We report the latest statistical analyses of superflares on solar-type (G-type main-sequence; effective temperature is 5100 - 6000 K) stars using all of the $Kepler$ primary mission data, and $Gaia$-DR2 (Data Release 2) catalog. We updated the flare
Recently, two strong homologous white light flares of X-GOES class occurred on the Sun on Sept. 06, 2017, providing a rare exceptional opportunity to study the mechanisms responsible for the formation of the magnetic field configurations suitable for
White-light flares are magnetically driven localized brightenings on the surfaces of stars. Their temporal, spectral, and statistical properties present a treasury of physical information about stellar magnetic fields. The spatial distributions of ma
We analyse observations of the X9.3 solar flare (SOL2017-09-06T11:53) observed by SDO/HMI and Hinode/SOT. Our aim is to learn about the nature of the HMI pseudocontinuum Ic used as a proxy for the white-light continuum. From model atmospheres retriev
