 It is not possible to draw any conclusions about the relative proportion of G and K type stars showing superflares, or about the frequency of flares on those stars that do show such activity, since the flare detection algorithms and criteria in the two studies are quite different.Most (though not all) of the K and M stars show the same quasi-periodic brightness variations as the G stars.There is a tendency for more energetic flares to occur on more variable stars; however flare frequency is only weakly related to variability.
