Studies of the flare-produced line feature at 1.9 A due to highly ionized iron show that it is emitted in conditions closely approximating steady-state ionization equilibrium. Calculations of the line flux per unit emission measure from time-dependent and steady-state ionization equilibria are compa

โฆ Synopsis
The soft X-ray emission of the solar corona is investigated by comparison of the signals of several broad band photometers carried on the Solrad 9 satellite, and sensitive to the region 0.5-20 A. Temperature from 1.5 โข 106 to 25 โข 106 K have been measured with 'emission measure' S N~2 dVranging between 10 ~~ cm 3 to 1047 cm -a.
By means of the observational data and assuming magnetic confinement and hydrostatic equilibrium, the model of an active region is investigated. For temperatures larger than 107 K the emission is due to flare activity and two sets of emission measure are observed which appear to be related to the evolution of flares.

Hot regions in solar flares produce X-radiation and microwaves by thermal processes. Recent X-ray data make it possible to specify the temperature and emission measure of the soft X-ray source, by using, for instance, a combination of the 1-8 A (peak response at about 2 keV) and the 0.5-3 ]k (peak r
