It has been shown for solar flares (Donati-Falchi et al. 1985) that the continuum emission at the Balmer discontinuity (the blue “pseudo-continuum”) is a very sensitive tool to determine the electron density. In order to use the same interpretative scheme for stellar flares (Falchi et al. 1988), spectroscopic observations of various flare stars have been performed in June 1987 at ESO observatory (Chile). In this paper we report the analysis of spectra of the star n. 729 (V 1216 Sgr) of the Gliese catalog.
