 Wolf 359
It was discovered photographically by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.
Flares on Wolf 359, however, are rarer and not as violent as those observed on Proxima Centauri, Kruger 60 B, or UV Ceti.
Wolf 359 is a flare star, like UV Ceti (Luyten 726-8 B) shown flaring at left.

Wolf 424 A and B are not visible to the naked eye, either combined or individually, but the smaller companion star may be one of the most active (UV-Ceti type) Flare Stars -- Star B is designated FL Virginis -- known (Thomas J.
The stars were discovered by Max (Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius) Wolf (1863-1932), a pioneer of astrophotography who discovered hundreds of variable stars and asteroids, and about 5,000 nebulae by analyzing photographic plates and developing the "dry plate" in 1880 and the "blink comparator" in 1900 with the Carl Zeiss optics company in Jena, Germany.
Subsequently, new measurements of the relative positions of the components of Wolf 424 AB (made with the Fine Guidance Sensors of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1996), however, indicated that both are actually low-mass red dwarf stars (Torres et al, 1999).

 Wolf, Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Wolf, Maximilian Franz Joseph Cornelius
Wolf was the first to use time-lapse photography in astronomy, a technique he used for detecting asteroids.
In 1903 he discovered the first of the so-called Trojan satellites (number 588, later named Achilles), whose orbits are in precise synchrony with that of Jupiter's; they form a gravitationally stable configuration between Jupiter and the Sun.
Independently of US astronomer Edward Barnard, Wolf discovered that the dark ‘voids’ in the Milky Way are in fact nebulae that are obscured by vast quantities of dust, and he studied their spectral characteristics and distribution.
