| Abstract: | Echelle spectrograms of the flaring red dwarf EV Lac obtained on the Nordic Optical Telescope are used to study the chromosphere of the star during the impulsive flare of 23:19 UT on August 30, 1994, and in two nearby time intervals when UBV RI photometry showed the star to be in a quiescent state. The high spectral resolution of the observations enabled the detection of broad Balmer emission wings in the nonflaring state, which are interpreted as evidence for microflares. Semiempirical models for active regions in the chromosphere, flares, and microflares are constructed and used to compare the main physical characteristics of these structures. The place of the detected microflares in the overall energetics of flare events in EV Lac is discussed. |
