The Correlation of Solar Flare Temperature and Emission Measure Extrapolated to the Case of Stellar Flares

Abstract

We discuss an extrapolation of a recently discovered correlation between temperature and emission measure derived from X-ray spectra for the peak of solar flares to temperatures and emission measures characteristic of stellar flares. We find surprisingly good agreement between the parameters derived for stellar flares by various authors and the extrapolation of the results from the survey of solar flares.
