Unlisted UV Ceti Flare Star - KIC 7123391


Forum Talk members have identified a possible unlisted  UV Ceti flare star in the Q7 light curves.

Tom Jacobs:
 
Q7 flares KIC 7123391 This one has a similar outburst in Q8 near D795
No magnitude reading on star. Close in neighbors in sky view but look extremely weak.

Daryll LaCourse:
 
Thanks for flagging this Tom; those look pretty powerful! Star type is listed as Unknown but perhaps it is an M dwarf.

Kian Jek:
Possible, there's hardly any color info on this star but the J-K value of 0.996 suggests a Teff under 4000K. that's about right for a UV Ceti type flare star.
