โฆ Synopsis
Hard X-ray bursts have been observed from two 1B flares located in the same sunspot region and separated in time by about 70 min on 8 December 1970. The bursts are composed by many 'flashes' of 2 to 20 seconds duration. Power spectrum analysis reveals no strong periodicities although a significant peak appears at 7.5 s. The characteristic times of 2 to 20 s do not seem likely to be electron transit times since the flare size is so small. These times are evidently connected with the acceleration of the electrons. Fitting Takakura's model of the radio noise region to the observations we find this region to be small but the density of electrons above 100 keV is high, on the order of 10 r cm -8.

Observationally solar X bursts fall into three different categories: soft X bursts (E ,< I 0 keV), deka-keV bursts (10-150 keV), and very hard X bursts or deci-MeV bursts (200-1000 keV). The first kind is quasi-thermal, the last kind is non-thermal. The real existence of the third kind of burst look
Hard X-ray (ZI00 keY) time histories of solar flares which occurred on 1978 December 4 an@ 1979 February 18 are presented. The first flare was observed by 3 identical instruments from near-earth orbit (Prognoz 7) and interplanetary space (Venera Ii and 12). Fine time structure is present down to t
The observed correlations between X-ray and type III radio emissions from solar bursts are described by means of a bivariate distribution function. Procedures for determining the form of this distribution are described using a sample of data analyzed by Kane (1981). With the help of this distributio
