title: On flat objects of finitely accessible categories.
abstract: Flat objects of a finitely accessible additive category C are described in terms of some objects of the associated functor category of C, called strongly flat functors. We study closure properties of the class of strongly flat functors, and we use them to deduce the known result that every object of a finitely accessible abelian category has a flat cover.
