A time-dependent model of magnetic reconnection for the decay phase of solar two-ribbon flares is applied to long-duration stellar flares observed by the Einstein and Exosat observatories on the stars EQ Peg and Prox Cen. It is shown that the model reproduces correctly the energy release rate and temporal evolution during the decay phase of the observed events. It is concluded that the observed behavior is consistent with the interpretation of these flares as stellar counterparts of solar two-ribbon flares. In addition, taking into account recent measurements of stellar magnetic fields by Saar and Linsky (1985), it is shown that the agreement between the data and the analytical model results in a well-defined set of physical parameters for the emitting region.
