Atmospheric models of flare stars: the flaring state of AD Leonis.

MAUAS P.J.D. and FALCHI A.

Abstract (from CDS):

We compute a set of semi-empirical atmospheric models for a large flare on the dMe star AD Leo, assuming different filling factors. These are the first models computed to match both the continuum observations, and a wide set of chromospheric spectral lines. We found that the models with a filling factor between 1 and 5% give good agreement between the computed and observed spectral features. Since the main differences between the predicted and observed emission are in the continuum above 4500A and in Hα, simultaneous observations in these spectral features are needed to better determine the filling factor, and whether the area coverage of the flare depends on height.
