  Title: COORDINATED OBSERVATIONS OF AD LEO: TESTING THE FLARE MODEL                     


Abstract:
 We request an 80 ks exposure of the dMe flare star AD Leo for the purpose of
 observing a stellar flare at coronal X-ray wavelengths with ASCA. The observation
 will be coordinated with photometry and spectroscopy from the EUVE spacecraft, for
 which we have already been awarded observing time by NASA. Simultaneous coverage
 will also be arranged for microwave observations with the VLA, and optical/IR
 photometry and spectroscopy from several ground-based sites. AD Leo is known to
 flare very often, and its flares are typically much more energetic than the most
 powerful flares observed on the Sun. Joint soft X-ray, XUV, and radio observations
 of the coronal emissions of this star will be used to test and refine a new physical
 model of stellar flares, which we have recently developed.
