Implications of the 1400 MHz flare emission from AD Leo for the emission mechanism and flare environmentHigh brightness temperature spikes have been observed during a radio flare on the M-dwarf flare star AD Leo (Lang et al., 1983). Their high brightness temperature (greater than 10 to the 13th K) and circular polarization indicate that a coherent radiation mechanism must be responsible for the spike emission. The underlying flare emission, which is identified with a low polarization, gradual component, was found not to be spiky to within the 200 ms time resolution of the observations. This note is concerned primarily with this nonspiky emission.
