Interpretation of hard X-ray images during the impulsive phase of a limb flare

  • 1. Observatorio Nacional de Fisica Cosmica, San Miguel, Argentina

Description

It is shown that the observations of a limb flare, in which a hard X-ray (16-30 keV) source is seen at the boundary between two interacting magnetic structures, indicate the presence of hot (T approximately equal to or greater than 10 to the 7th K) plasma within the region. Nonthermal bremsstrahlung processes do not agree with these observations. The possible causes of the heating are discussed. 5 references
