We propose STIS G230L observations as part of multi-wavelength flare survey of two M dwarfs, including a host to a habitable-zone super-Earth, to determine the spectral response of the NUV during flares. An essential task on the journey to finding life beyond the solar system is to determine which places are suitable for life. While terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs are highly sought after, their habitability is in question owing to high activity levels and close-in habitable zones. We are undertaking a large multi-wavelength flare study of M dwarfs carried out primarily via broadband photometry using Swift, TESS and the JVLA. We are studying flares from dozens of M dwarfs spanning all combinations of mass and age. STIS can greatly enhance the scientific yield from this project by uncovering the underlying spectral energy distribution during simultaneous NUV and optical photometry and X-ray spectroscopy. We will uncover the typical spectral response during a flare in the broadband Swift UVM2 bandpass with a few strategic observations. Multi-wavelength observations of flares are few, yet are critically important for understanding the effect of space weather on exoplanets. These NUV flare observations will provide an essential puzzle piece in our comprehensive M dwarf survey. The two targets, nearby M dwarfs GJ 832 (HD 204961; M2 V) and GJ 1061 (M5.5 V), will be observed with STIS G230L 52"x0.2" slit in time-tag mode to observe NUV flares. These observations are scheduled within the 1-2 month window that the TESS spacecraft will be obtaining continuous red-optical photometry at 2-minute cadence of these stars. We have also been allocated Swift time for these targets, and the Swift observatory will trigger off of the HST observations. Swift will obtain NUV photometry in the UVM2 bandpass which closely follows the spectral range of STIS G230L. Our STIS G230L spectra are designed to measure the typical M dwarf spectral response in Swift's broadband UVM2 filter, for our upcoming Swift Key Project to observe 46 nearby M dwarfs simultaneously with TESS and Swift (and ~16 targets also with the VLA) to study M dwarf activity through time. Each target will have two visits (four visits total, each with 2-3 orbits) to maximize scheduling flexibility as this was strongly encouraged in correspondence with STScI. While the successful MUSCLES and ongoing Mega-MUSCLES Treasury Surveys have utilized 5 consecutive orbits for FUV flare studies, these surveys find that individual FUV flares have durations less than 90 minutes. Thus, each individual HST orbit is randomly sampling flares from the star. Exposure time calculations were carried out using known spectra for one target (GJ 832) and the spectrum of a spectral type match to the distance and radius for the second target (GJ 1061). The 52"x0.2" was selected to maximize S/N and absolute flux calibration accuracy.
