Electron-Electron Bremsstrahlung Emission and the Inference of Electron Flux Spectra in Solar Flares
Eduard P. Kontar, A. Gordon Emslie, Anna Maria Massone +3
Although both electron-ion and electron-electron bremsstrahlung contribute to the hard X-ray emission from solar flares, the latter is normally ignored. Such an omission is not jus…
Determination Of Electron Flux Spectra In A Solar Flare With An Augmented Regularization Method: Application To Rhessi Data
E. P. Kontar, A. G. Emslie, M. Piana +2
Kontar et al. (2004) have shown how to recover mean source electron spectra in solar flares through a physical constraint regularization analysis of the bremsstrahlung photon spect…
RHESSI as a Hard X-Ray Polarimeter
M. L. McConnell, J. M. Ryan, D. M. Smith +2
Polarization measurements of hard X-rays from solar flares can provide a direct handle on the extent to which the accelerated electrons are beamed, which, in turn, has important im…
Surface Quantum Effects in a Fireball Model of Gamma Ray Bursts
R. Lieu, Y. Takahashi, T. W. B. Kibble +2
Recent rapid advances in the observations of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) lend much confidence to the cosmological fireball (FB) model: there is now compelling evidence that the radiati…
