Rising Near-ultraviolet Spectra in Stellar Megaflares

Flares from M dwarf stars can attain energies up to 10 ^4 times larger than solar flares but are generally thought to result from similar processes of magnetic energy release and particle acceleration. Larger heating rates in the low atmosphere are needed to reproduce the shape and strength of the o...
