Abstract
ACCOUNTS of the successful correlation of the radio and optical emission during flares on the UV Ceti type stars have already been published for a number of minor flares observed during the period 1960–61 at Jodrell Bank1 and of a major flare observed in 1962 at Sydney2. The analysis of the combined Jodrell Bank–Smithsonian observations has continued, and the new results so far accumulated on the minor flares show a radio output per magnitude change similar to that found before. In these events the radio flux rises sharply during the initial stages of the flare. During observations of the star UV Ceti in October 1963 we were successful in recording radio emission on two frequencies which appears to have a different relationship with the visible flare.
