β¦ Synopsis
A semi-empirical model of the soft X-ray source associated with solar flares is presented, based on the results of the two temperature analysis of OSO-5 data obtained by Herring and Craig (1973). The model makes use of a jet of plasma rising from the solar surface as the basic origin of the soft X-ray emitting region, and gives rise to a cool region caused by randomisation of the jet, and a hot region caused by a shock front. Two different geometries are examined, and the model allows flow velocities and electron densities to be calculated.

A simple, analytic model is presented of a hot (> 108 K), thermal hard X-ray source, continuously heated, bounded by ion-acoustic conduction fronts, and expanding in a loop. The model is used to investigate the assumption, made in some published comparisons of this model with data, that the 'rise ti
HETE-2 has provided strong evidence that the properties of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and GRBs form a continuum, and therefore that these two types of bursts are the same phenomenon. We show that both the structured jet and the uniform jet models can explain the observed properties of GRBs reasonably well
