   PR # 41006
   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.
