Scientific paper

Flares, especially giant ones affect the atmospheres of terrestrial planets. In order to better understand the processes involved we have initiated a study of flares in the CoRoT-database. In our survey we have detected several active stars with flares. These show the usual behaviour: a rapid increase followed by a slow decay. The obtained cumulative frequency diagram follows a power law. In addition to these flares we found 50 huge flare-like events on otherwise inactive stars. In contrast to the flares which have blue colours these events show a mixture of different colours and shapes. They thus resemble the events on a sample of solar-like stars first noticed by Schaefer et al. more than 10 years ago.
