                   DATA BASE ON THE UV CETI TYPE
                  FLARE STARS AND RELATED OBJECTS



 We are preparing the data base on red dwarf flare stars that contains now the data on
more than 230 objects and about 2100 references. It allows to pick out information by
the name of the star, by authors and by key words. The supposed printed version will
contain
     a. all names and designations of each star,
     b. their coordinates, optical photometry, X-ray, radio and IR data,
        fundamental and kinematical characteristics, and
     c. references from available publications in chronological order.
The complete volume of the data base is about 0.7 MB.
  In order to check our data base and to minimize unavoidable gaps, we ask researchers
of objects under consideration to send us their list of publications on this topic. Their
help is much appreciated.
