Abstract: Solar flares are explosive phenomena on the solar surface. They often produce high XUV radiations, high energy particles, and mass ejections which have potential risks to damage human technologies. On other stars, such as M dwarfs and young stars, larger ‘superflares’ (more than ten times larger than the most energetic solar flares) are known to frequently occur, severely affecting the exoplanet habitability. Recently, there is an increasing interest in the question “How do the stellar magnetic activities on central stars affect the planetary environment?”, and therefore the properties of stellar superflares become more and more important. Optical spectroscopic observations have a potential to reveal the properties of superflares, but the detections of ssuperflares have been very rare due to its low occurrence frequency. We have conducted optical spectroscopic observations of stellar superflares on M-/G-dwarfs with the 3.8-m Seimei telescope since 2019. We have succeeded in detecting optical spectra of the rare stellar superflares with very high time-cadence and high quality. We found a very dynamic change in optical spectra during a superflare as evidence of strong injections of high-energy particles to the stellar atmosphere (Namekata et al. 2020b). Moreover, we detected the first, conclusive evidence of stellar mass ejection, which revealed the mechanism of mass ejections and would enable us to estimate its direct impact on exoplanets (Namekata et al. submitted). In this talk, I will talk about the recent results by the Seimei telescope.
