Employees of the UWr Astronomical Institute and the Centre of Scientific Excellence ‘Solar and stellar activity’ have published a unique report in the renowned Astrophysical Journal Letter on the location and correlation of up to three phenomena that are manifestations of stellar magnetic activity. For one very young and rapidly rotating star, they managed to link the location of both large spots, a strong and unusually long-lived flare and slowly rising loops filled with cool matter in the atmosphere of this star. Such combinations of phenomena have long been observed on the Sun. However, even through the best telescopes, we cannot observe details on the disk of other stars. Retrieving information about the position of different structures always requires special methods or unique instruments. In this case, a very precise and careful analysis of one of the simplest types of observations, the measurement of a star’s brightness, proved sufficient. These were made by the TESS mission, which is characterised by the exceptional accuracy of its measurements.
