The soft X-ray emission of the late-type stars • - ROSAT, • 0.1 – 2.4 keV • - The Sun • at the same spectal range, max,min • Stars from J.Wright et al, 2004 • - Stars of HK ProjectS.Baliunas et al.
Thus, the Sun enters naturally in a family of cyclic stars: the Sun among the active stars with cycles is a hotter star, rotating comparatively faster, while solar spots cover relatively less area than spots on active stars.

HOW STELLAR FLARE EXPERIENCE CAN HELP IN SOLAR INVESTIGATIONS? CONCLUSIONS • The Sun among active late-type stars with cycles is a typical one. • The soft X-ray emission of stellar coronae allows us to analyse processes in different physical conditions and to distinguish phenomena developing both in strong local and large-scale magnetic fields. It helps to understand how can change the solar corona if heating increases by 3-4 orders of a magnitude and will be realized at small and large spatial structures. • If solar non-stationary phenomena are characterized by energies up to 1032 ergs, so stellar flares give possibility to investigate much more powerful events with total energies up to 1036 ergs. Therefore there is a chance to observe phenomena associated either with a pulse only or with prolonged primary energy release
