Abstract (from CDS):

Detection of stellar flares at hard X-ray is still rare at the current stage. A transient was recently detected by the hard X-ray camera ECLAIRs on board the SVOM mission at 11:39:01.2 UT on 2025 January 09. Simultaneous monitoring in the optical band on the ground by SVOM/GWAC and follow-up spectroscopy enabled us to confirm that the transient is caused by a superflare on HD 22468, an RS CVn-type star. The bolometric energy released in the flare is estimated to be ∼7.2 × 10³⁷-1.7 × 10³⁸ erg. The hard X-ray spectra of the event at the peak can be reproduced by the “apec” model of a hot plasma with a temperature of $10{6}_{-22}^{+27}$ MK. In the optical range, the Hα emission-line profile obtained at ∼1.7 hr after the trigger shows a bulk blueshift of -96 ± 20 km s^–1, which can be explained by either a chromospheric evaporation or a prominence eruption. The ejected mass is estimated to be 3.9 × 10²⁰ g for the evaporating plasma and to be 3.2 × 10²¹ g < M_p < 8.8 × 10²¹ g for the erupted prominence.
