✦ Synopsis

The erroneous electron energy loss rate of Brown et al. (1983), used in their interpretation of multi-spacecraft hard X-ray observations, is corrected. The inference of column depth in the occulted source is repeated, mostly with only slightly different results. Additionally, it is pointed out that the relativistic dependence of velocity on kinetic energy may produce a high-energy hardening of the electron flux, which could help to reconcile observations and theory.

A simple trap model of solar hard X-ray bursts is discussed in which nonthermal electrons trapped in a magnetic bottle precipitate into the lower chromosphere through the resonant scattering by whistlers. In -such a model, the X-ray spectra produced from trapped and precipitating electrons have 9 di

Bursts of solar X-rays in the energy range 5-15 keV are associated with flares and are due to thermal emission from a hot coronal plasma. In this paper we present the results of the first study of a large sample of separate bursts, 197 events associated with subftares and a few importance 1 events.
