[46.08] Theoretical Models of a Flare on AU Mic seen by EUVE Deep Survey Detectors

The M-dwarf star AU Mic was observed by the EUVE Deep Survey Instrument from 1992 July 14-18. A large flare with a total radiated energy in the EUV of approximately $3 \times 10^{34} \ {\rm erg}$ was detected in the Lexan/Boron (65-190 ~\AA) band at 12:38 UT on 15 July 1992. These observations are described further in a recent paper (Cully, Siegmund, Vedder and Vallerga Ap. J. Lett, 1993, in press). We present an analysis of this data in terms of theoretical models of flaring loops.
