An application of nonlinear least squares methods for determining the temperature models of coronal active regions, based on the measured X-ray line intensities, is described. These methods allow to obtain a better agreement of the observed and measured X-ray line fluxes than the methods which are u

โฆ Synopsis
The NRL SOLRAD 10 satellite carries six ionization chambers to measure solar X-radiation in the 0.5 to 60 ~ wavelength band. The X-ray emission spectrum in this range is determined by the derivative of the coronal emission measure ( [Ne2d V) with respect to temperature when the thermal processes of bremsstrahlung, radiative recombination and line radiation are considered. If a simple model for this differential emission measure is used and detector responses to the calculated spectra are fitted to the SOLRAD data by a least squares method, the differential emission measure can be obtained for temperatures between 2 โข 106 K and 64 โข 106 K. Data during quiet and flaring periods are analyzed and the general behavior of the differential emission measure during flares is presented. This analysis is based on experimental measurements of the efficiencies of the SOLRAD detectors.

A number of solar X-ray events above 10 keV and 20 keV were compiled in order to test for evidence of anisotropic emission. The results are not definite, although the two samples show apparently different behaviours. Among the mechanism of X-ray emission from solar bursts and of related phenomena,
An improved X-ray polarimeter is briefly described and preliminary results of the measurements carried out on the satellite 'Intercosmos-7' are presented. One flare with considerable polarization (P~> 16%) was observed on 1972 August 4. Two other flares with rather low polarization (P ~ 4 %; P/> 2 %
