Statistical Properties of Super-hot Solar Flares
Amir Caspi, Säm Krucker, R. P. Lin
We use RHESSI high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy observations from ~6 to 100 keV to determine the statistical relationships between measured parameters (temperature, emission…
Energy Release and Particle Acceleration in Flares: Summary and Future Prospects
R. P. Lin
RHESSI measurements relevant to the fundamental processes of energy release and particle acceleration in flares are summarized. RHESSI's precise measurements of hard X-ray continuu…
RHESSI Line and Continuum Observations of Super-hot Flare Plasma
A. Caspi, R. P. Lin
We use RHESSI high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy observations from ~5 to 100 keV to characterize the hot thermal plasma during the 2002 July 23 X4.8 flare. These measurements…
Kappa Distribution Model for Hard X-Ray Coronal Sources of Solar Flares
M. Oka, S. Ishikawa, P. Saint-Hilaire +2
Solar flares produce hard X-ray emission of which the photon spectrum is often represented by a combination of thermal and power-law distributions. However, the estimates of the nu…
Solar Eruptive Events (SEE) 2020 Mission Concept
R. P. Lin, A. Caspi, S. Krucker +20
Major solar eruptive events (SEEs), consisting of both a large flare and a near simultaneous large fast coronal mass ejection (CME), are the most powerful explosions and also the m…
The height of a white-light flare and its hard X-ray sources
Juan-Carlos MartÃnez Oliveros, Hugh S. Hudson, Gordon J. Hurford +6
We describe observations of a white-light flare (SOL2011-02-24T07:35:00, M3.5) close to the limb of the Sun, from which we obtain estimates of the heights of the optical continuum…
