      FLARE STARS OBSERVATIONS IN THE PLEIADES - REGION


    Three new flare stars and seven new outbursts of already
known Pleiades - region flare stars were discovered during 19h33m
effective observational time on the plates obtained with the
60/90/180 cm Schmidt-telescope at Konkoly Observatory.
    The observations were made on Kodak 103aO emulsion using
Schott UG 2 filter. In most cases we have 6 - each 10 minutes
long - exposures on every plate.
    In Table I the first column gives the serial number for the
new flare star found, columns two and three the approximate 
coordinates for 1900.0, in the fourth column we give the approximate 
photographic magnitude at minimum light, column five presents
the observed amplitude of the flare in U-band and column six the
date of the flare-up.

The data for the observed flare-ups of the known flare stars are
presented in Table II. We have used the Byurakan designation and
the Hertzsprung numbers are also given.
