Numerical simulations of flaring coronal loops, based on the assumption of an electron beam energy input, show that material is ablated from the chromosphere at approximately the local sound speed, thus giving rise to an overall blueshift in the spectrum of the soft X-ray Ca xIx resonance line of up

β¦ Synopsis
We describe briefly the Ultraviolet Spectrometer and Polarimete on the Solar Maximum Mission and discuss data pertaining to the emissions observed in lines originating in the transition-region plasma, particularly during impulsive flares.
The data pertain to lines from the following ions: Sill, CIV, OIV, SilV, OV, and FeXXI.

It was shown by Zheleznyakov and Zlotnik (1980a, b) that in complex configurations of solar magnetic fields (in hot loops above the active centres, in neutral current sheets in the preflare phase, in hot X-ray kernels in the initial flare phase) a system of cyclotron lines in the spectrum of microwa
Observational evidence suggests that both the hard X-ray and ultraviolet emission from the impulsive phase of flares result from an electron beam. We present the results of model calculations that are consistent with this theory. The impulsive phase is envisioned as occurring in many small magnetica
Short-term periodicities of solar activity were studied with the flare index by using Discrete Fourier Transform for the time interval 1966-1986. Two noticeable periodicities (18.5 and 5 months) have been found. The existence of these periodicities comparing with the early findings is discussed.
Using a simplified form of the bremsstrahlung cross-section, we obtain an analytic expression for the intensity of electron-beam-produced hard X-ray emission with depth in solar flares. The results show that 'footpoint' emission is more likely than previously thought, and we discuss these results in
