Abstract
SummaryUltraviolet continua observed in IUE spectra of dMc stars in a flaring state are compared with those in solar Hares. There is evidence that, as may be the case with solar flares, stellar-flare continua in particularly the λ < 1683 Å region are due to free-bound transitions in neutral silicon excited by ultraviolet lino emission.
