Abstract
Dwarf stars of the main sequence generate charged particles in stellar flares. In our Galaxy the total number of such flash stars is about $10^{11}$. The power and frequency of stellar flares are enough to populate all cosmic ray spectrum up to particle energy $10^{15}$\,eV. Electrogasodynamic model of charged particle acceleration in flares of dwarf stars is considered. The physical mechanism includes the acceleration of particles by electric field behind plasma shock wave originating by stellar flare.
