Description
Results of coordinated observations of the flare star EV Lac in
September 1992 are presented. Among 25 flares detected during 28 hours
on patrol in Crimea four had large enough amplitudes to permit the
quantitative analysis of their radiation by colour-colour diagrams.
Calculation of V-I colour index for different radiation sources enable
us to analyze the whole UBVRI wavelength range. The detected amplitude
of the slow brightness variations with the rotational period of the star
was 0.058mag; this corresponds to a differential spottedness between the
darkest and the brightest stellar hemispheres of about 12%. Strong
variations of the equivalent width of the Hbeta_ emission
line, its broadening and the veiling of the intensity jumps at the TiO
molecular band heads were measured during powerful events. Broadened
emission Hbeta_ line profiles were fitted by either two
gaussians with very different widths or by sets of gaussians with the
instrumental resolution width. Several non-hydrogen emissions were found
in the flare spectra. Sporadic decametric emission of the star is
suggestively discovered. Apparently, it correlates with the general
level of the stellar activity, and a brightness temperature of these
radio bursts was about 10^18^K. Centimetre wavelength radiation was
found to be weak at the times of the flares. On the basis of these facts
some ideas on the nature of decametric radio bursts are shortly
discussed.
