Sentence:  The white light during M dwarf <WSD>flares</WSD> has long been known to exhibit the broadband shape of a "T" ≈ 10 000 K blackbody, and the white light in solar-<WSD>flares</WSD> is thought to arise primarily from hydrogen recombination. Yet, a current lack of broad-wavelength coverage solar <WSD>flare</WSD> spectra in the optical/near-UV region prohibits a direct comparison of the continuum properties to determine if they are indeed so different. New spectroscopic observations of a secondary <WSD>flare</WSD> during the decay of a megaflare on the dM4.5e star YZ CMi have revealed multiple components in the white-light continuum of stellar <WSD>flares</WSD>, including both a blackbody-like spectrum and a hydrogen-recombination spectrum. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  A source of brightly burning light or intense heat.
