An X-ray flare from the star π UMA has been observed by EXOSAT on January 31, 1984. The data were collected using the-Low Energy Experiment and the Medium Energy Experiment, sensitive to the spectral bands 0.04 - 2 Kev and 1-20 Kev (Landini et al. 1986).

The temperature and emission measure variations during the flare are deduced under the isothermal assumption. Using a parametrized profile of the differential emission measure, wich is controlled by the conductive flux via the temperature gradient, the comparison with the observed data gives some insight on a “mean loop” model and its power supply.
