Bridging High-density Electron Beam Coronal Transport and Deep Chromospheric Heating in Stellar Flares

The optical and near-ultraviolet (NUV) continuum radiation in M-dwarf flares is thought to be the impulsive response of the lower stellar atmosphere to magnetic energy release and electron acceleration at coronal altitudes. This radiation is sometimes interpreted as evidence of a thermal photospheri...
