Abstract (from CDS):

We present the detection of high-energy white-light flares from pre-main-sequence stars associated with the Orion Complex, observed as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). With energies up to 5.2 x 1035 erg these flares are some of the most energetic white-light flare events seen to date. We have used the NGTS observations of flaring and non-flaring stars to measure the average flare occurrence rate for 4 Myr M0-M3 stars. We have also combined our results with those from previous studies to predict average rates for flares above 1 x 1035 erg for early M stars in nearby young associations.
