摘要：

A flare rising from behind the solar limb was recorded simultaneously by the UCSD X-ray detector on OSO-III (7.7-200 keV) and the Caltech photoheliograph on Robinson Laboratory roof (Hα). The de-occultation gives excellent spatial resolution of the X-ray source. Spectra suggest that the material was already heated to 27 000 000° and that the increase in flux was due to the de-occultation. The flux rise to maximum was proportional to the apparent area. The uniformity of this rise shows that there was no special kernel of emission. Comparison of the deduced volume with the bremsstrahlung formula gives a density of about 1010 for the 27 000 000° component of the flare; this is confirmed by consideration of the maximum possible coulomb braking. The actual decay is more likely by escape rather than coulomb braking. © 1969 D. Reidel Publishing Company.
