Atmospheric models of flare stars: The flaring state of AD Leonis

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 fa...
