Scientific paper

An idealized model of flare decay is considered, including both radiative and conductive cooling of the hot expanding plasma. The optical light curve has contributions from both conductive power and X-ray heating. In contrast to the monotonic decay predicted when only radiative cooling is included, the present results include features which may be analogous to observed stillstands and secondary maxima and to a certain class of precursor events. Stillstands, secondary maxima, and precursors are here considered to be different manifestations of the same physical phenomenon.
