Abstract
The observational data permit us to establish clear statistical correlations between different parameters of stellar flare activity and the characteristics of quiet stars. These relations are:
-
(i)
between energies and frequencies of flares on stars of different luminosities;
-
(ii)
between total radiation energies of flares and quiet stars both in X-ray and Balmer emission lines;
-
(iii)
between flare decay rates just after the maxima and flare luminosities at maxima.
