Scientific paper

X-ray oscillations from the flare on active red dwarf AT Mic detected with XMM-Newton are investigated. We associate 750 s observed oscillations with the excitation of slow magnetosonic waves in a coronal magnetic loop. The plasma density (3x10^10 cm^-3), temperature (2x10^7 K), and minimum possible value of magnetic field (100 G) in the flare site were determined using coronal seismology approach. The piston mechanism is assumed to be responsible for the excitation of flaring loop oscillations.
