✦ Synopsis

We evaluate the possibility that the short-lived Balmer line emission at H9 A3835 A. of the 1972, August 2 (1839 UT) solar flare is due to heating of the chromosphere by bombarding electrons. We point out some of the problems of comparing the time behavior and spatial distribution of simultaneous hard and soft X-ray emissions. It is concluded that the present data do not justify the attribution of the short-lived optical emission to the presumed hard X-ray producing electrons.

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

The properties and development of a high-temperature current sheet characterized by increasing merging velocity are studied and related to the early phases of solar flares. It is shown that the system can be described by the Petschek-type geometry for a wide range of merging velocities. In the diffu
