Long-term monitoring of active stars. IX. Photometry collected in 1993
As a part of an extensive program focused on the global properties andevolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_c and UBV photometryof 31 selected stars is presented. The UBV(RI)_c observations werecollected at the European Southern Observatory over the 31 December1992-18 January 1993 and the 20 November-3 December 1993 intervals.Additional UBV photometry obtained by the ``Phoenix" and by the CataniaAstrophysical Observatory Automatic Photoelectric Telescopes from 1990to 1993 is also presented for some of the program stars. Significantevolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence forlong-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found.Some spectral classifications are revised and the inferred photometricparallaxes are compared, whenever possible, with the values measured bythe Hipparcos satellite. These observations are finalized to theconstruction of an extended photometric database, which can giveimportant clues on topics such as the stability of spotted areas,differential rotation, solar-like cycles and the correlation betweeninhomogeneities at different atmospheric levels. Based on data collectedat the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile.

| Long-term monitoring of active stars. VIII. UBV(RI)_(c) photometry collected in February 1992
As a part of an extensive program focusing on the global properties andevolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_c photometry of 31selected stars, collected at the European Southern Observatory over the14-29 February 1992 interval, is presented. Significant evolution of thelight curves, period variations and evidence for long-term variabilityof the global degree of spottedness are found. Some spectralclassifications are revised and the inferred photometric parallaxes arecompared, whenever possible, with the values measured by the Hipparcossatellite. Flare events were detected for the star HD16157 = CC Eri, EXO 055609-3804.4 TY Coland HD 119285 = V851 Cen. Optical variability wasdiscovered for the Pop II binary HD 89499. Theseobservations contribute to the establishment of a time-extendedphotometric database which can give important clues on topics such asthe stability of spotted areas, differential rotation, solar-like cyclesand the correlation between inhomogeneities at different atmosphericlevels. based on data collected at the European Southern Observatory, LaSilla, Chile.

In the framework of an extensive program focusing on the globalproperties and evolution of active stars, high-precision UBV(RI)_cphotometry of 19 selected stars, collected at the European SouthernObservatory over the 15-31 March 1991 interval is presented. Significantevolution of the light curves, period variations and evidence forlong-term variability of the global degree of spottedness are found.Most of the spectral classifications are discussed.

| Long-term monitoring of active stars. II - UBV(RI)c observations at ESO during January-March 1989
In the framework of a research program focusing on the global propertiesand evolution of photospheres and outer atmospheres of active stars, theauthor presents high-precision UBV(RI)c photometry of 15 selected RSCVn, BY Dra, and FK Com-type systems observed at the European SouthernObservatory (La Silla, Chile) in the period January-March 1989.Significant evolution both in amplitude and shape of the wave-like lightcurves is found with respect to previous observations. Evidence forlong-term variability for most of the observed stars is also presented,and some of the spectral classifications are rediscussed.
| A long-duration optical flare on the FK Com-type star HD 32918 (= YY Men)
During the course of systematic observations of active stars carried outat the European Southern Observatory (La Silla, Chile), an intenseoptical flare, lasting about one rotation period, was detected on the K1IIIp FK Com-type star YY Men + HD 32918 (Psub rot - 9.5476 days). Thepresent UBV (RI)c data represent one of the first broad-band photometricobservations of an optical flare on FK Com-type stars. Moreover, theobserved event probably is the longest optical flare ever recorded forany class of active stars. The total amount of released energy in theUBV (RI)c bands was estimated to be 1.8 x 10 exp 39 erg, and itspossible origin is briefly discussed.
| UBV(RI)c photometry for CaII emission stars. II - Observations at Mt. John University Observatory and at Mt. Stromlo
UBV(RI)c data are given for 17 stars with strong Ca II H and K emission.Techniques of observation and reduction are described briefly.
| HD 32918 - Ultraviolet spectrum and optical behaviour
The first ultraviolet observations of HD 32918, a southern member of theFK Comae class, are presented. The observations were taken with the IUEsatellite at two phases of the optical light curve, with simultaneousphotometric coverage over more than one cycle in order to monitor theactivity state of the star. The star shows very strong UV emission linesfrom the chromosphere and transition zone (TZ), similarly to otherobjects of the same class. Strong variations are seen in the hightemperature lines (N V, Si IV, C IV) within one cycle. Similarly to whatBianchi et al. (1985) found for FK Comae, the Mg II (1) emission variesby a large factor on long time-scales (several months).
