AbstractAbstract
[en] COMPTEL, the Imaging Compton Telescope on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, has registered many solar gamma ray flares during its two years on orbit. It detects and measures gamma rays from flares by two methods: (1) utilizing two independent large NaI gamma ray spectrometers operating from 0.2 to 2 MeV and 0.6 to 10 MeV and (2) using the telescope and imaging capabilities to acquire spectra from 0.75 to 30 MeV. Solar neutrons can also be measured in the telescope mode. The authors report here the solar gamma ray flare list compiled from COMPTEL data in the two modes of operation. They also describe the methods of searching for flares in the COMPTEL data and the qualitative nature of the flares detected
