Observations on the flare star AD Leo were carried out by ROSAT on 8-9 May 1991. Contemporaneous observations were made with a large number of optical and radio telescopes around the world, and with Ginga, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). The x-ray light curves show that one flare with about 15 counts per sec was observed at 1548 UT on 8 May 1991, and another may have been observed on 0800 on 9 May 1991. Another flare was observed at about 0300 UT on 9 May 1991, apparently lasting about two hours. The flare of 8 May was also recorded by Ginga in the 10-20 keV band and the flare of 9 May, 0300 UT, was observed with the Very Large Array (VLA) at two wavelengths. Other instruments on the ground observed other flares, demonstrating that x-ray flares are not always accompanied by optical, UV, or radio emissions, and vice versa. HST observed one flare with very rapidly varying UV lines.
