A model consisting of two polytropes is constructed, to represent a helium core of a star during the helium shell flash occurring at the onset of helium burning in a degenerate core. The maximum temperature reached during the flash can be predicted as a function of core mass and mass inside the helium burning shell. This temperature will generally be too low for the production of neutrons out of14N. Some additional results on the helium shell flash in a star of 1.3M &sun; are also presented.
