                       NEW FLARE STARS IN ORION

We have continued the survey for flare stars in the Orion nebula
region. We discovered seven flare stars around the Orion nebula on the plates
taken in 1985 with the 40" Schmidt telescope of Byurakan Observatory and
from the revision of our old plates.
   The effective time of observations is about 12 hours (5 hours
in B, and 7 hours in U light). ORWO ZU 21 plates with the combination of
Schott filters GG385 and UG1 were used. The revisions were carried out on
the plates with effective time of observations about 60 hours.
   Table I gives the data for the seven flare stars found. In the columns
of Table I the following data on flares are presented respectively: the
Byurakan number of star, coordinates, magnitude at minimum, amplitude, the
date of flare, telescope and the identification. The coordinates and 
magnitudes are approximate.
