              FLARE STARS IN ORION



  We have continued the survey for flare stars in the region
of Orion nebula. On the plates taken with the 40" and 21" Schmidt
telescopes of Byurakan Observatory we discovered nine flare
events of the stars around the Orion nebula.
The total time of effective coverage was 14 hours in pg-
and 17 hours in the U-band. In most cases the plates were taken
with the multiple and equal exposure method.
