+This study uses a broad selection of Kepler/K2 and TESS lightcurves, which were downloaded from MAST. For Kepler and its continuation mission K2 short-cadence data was used. Unlike long-cadence data with a cadence of 30 minutes, this allows the resolution of shorter events too, as the duration of flares can vary between a few seconds to a few hours (\cite{flare_duration1}, ).
+The initial dataset was taken from a list of well known flaring stars from \cite{kepler_411_study}, \cite{kepler_411_210_comparison}, \cite{doyle_2018}, \cite{doyle_2019}, \cite{au_mic_flaring_spi} and \cite{flare_occurance_periodicity}. Additionally the dataset of the M to F stars of \cite{althukair_starlist} which can be found at \href{https://github.com/akthukair/AFD}{https://github.com/akthukair/AFD} was parsed to the downloader GUI. Due to not all data being available as short cadence data from Kepler/K2, only a subset of this large sample was added.

 \section{Spectral type identification}
 \label{sec:data:sptype_identification}
+
+After the initial download and cross checking with SIMBAD, not all stars had a spectral type assigned. For these stars magnitudes in various different bands was known though. The stars which have their magnitudes known atleast in the B and V bands are found in table \ref{tab:unknown_sptypes_bv}, while the stars which had their magnitudes known only in the J, H and C bands are in table \ref{tab:unknown_sptypes_jhc}.
+Using $B-V$ (as well as further magnitude differences, if available) have been compared to the table at \cite{spectral_type_color_table} (\href{https://www.stsci.edu/~inr/intrins.html}{https://www.stsci.edu/~inr/intrins.html}). This allowed for a rough classification of the stars in table \ref{tab:unknown_sptypes_bv}. Additionally, and to classify the stars in table \ref{tab:unknown_sptypes_jhc}, the effective temperature was taken into account from the TESS Input Catalogue (\cite{revised_tess_input_catalogue}) from Vizier (\cite{vizier}). The classification table for spectral types based on effective temperature has been taken from \cite{harvard_spectral_types_teff} (\href{https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~pberlind/atlas/htmls/note.html}{https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~pberlind/atlas/htmls/note.html}).\\
+The final spectral type for the stars can be found in table \ref{tab:unknown_sptypes_final_output}. If the base spectral type calculated from the effective temperature and the magnitude differences in multiple different color bands is identical, it will use that spectral type as final. In the case of those differing, like for BD-08 995, which was found to be an early K type star (K0) by the intrinsic color method but is a G type star based on the effective temperature, the latter is prefered. For the four stars from table \ref{tab:unknown_sptypes_jhc} which did not provide magnitudes in the optical range, the spectral type based on the effective temperature is taken as final.
