Description
An intense solar X-ray burst occurred on 1981 April 27 at the solar limb. The X-ray images of this burst were observed with the hard X-ray telescope (17--50 keV) aboard the satellite Hinotori. The centroid of images was located in the corona 1.4 x 104 km above the photosphere throughout the increasing phase (about 15 minutes) of this strong burst without much change in its size of about 20'' (FWHM). A weak subordinate source 5 x 104 km apart from the main source was also located in the corona 3 x 104 km above the photosphere, and it exhibited a change in relative intensity
