Challenging the rotation-activity paradigm II

We propose to obtain XMMNewton snapshots of seven of the most slowly rotatingGtype superflare stars identified by the Kepler satellite to test whether theyadhere to the rotationactivity paradigm. While the strongest flares observed onthe Sun release about 1e32 erg, Kepler observed Gtype dwarfs that producewhitelight flares releasing up to four orders of magnitude more energy.Curiously, many of these superflare stars are apparently slow rotators.Notwithstanding, our recent XMMNewton campaign showed that these stars can beextremely bright Xray sources (about 1e30 erg/s). Consequently, we identifiedthe slowest rotators among the superflare stars amenable to Xray observationsto study their Xray emission. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
