      FLARE STAR OBSERVATIONS IN THE PLEIADES REGION



  Four new flare stars and six outburst repetitions of the
Pleiades-region flare stars were discovered.
  The observations were made with the 60/90/180 cm Schmidt
telescope at Konkoly Observatory in the winter period of 1975-76.
The effective coverage of these observations was 16.0 hours
and the method of observations was the common one of multiple
and equal exposures of 10 minutes in the U-band.

    Table 1 gives some data for the new flare stars found and
the columns give: the serial number; the approximate coordinates
for 1900.0; the approximate minimum brightness in U-band; the
observed amplitude of the flare-up in U-band and the date of
the flare up, respectively.
    The data for the registered flare repetitions of the already
known flare stars are presented in Table 2.

   The Byurakan designation was used and the Hertzsprung
   numbers are also given.
