Abstract
We do not know all of the energy released in the course of a dMe star flare. What we actually measure however is often 104 to 105 times larger than what is seen in large solar flares. I have two questions. Why do you think flares in dMe stars are so much more energetic than in the solar case? Secondly, why are solar flares so much less energetic than those in dMe stars?
