Abstract

Optical and ultraviolet spectroscopy can enable the assessment of the physical conditions characterizing a stellar flare atmosphere and thereby potentially elucidate the possible radiative and hydrodynamic transport mechanisms operative during stellar flares. In this review, I present illustrative examples of the spectroscopic diagnostic techniques that can be applied to the analysis of stellar flare spectroscopic data and the resulting inferences concerning stellar flare properties for M dwarf flare events.
