✦ Synopsis

Results from the high resolution solar X-ray spectrometer experiments on the P78-I spacecraft are discussed. These results concern physical quantities such as electron temperature and density, turbulence, mass motions, and state of ionization equilibrium, characteristic of the thermal soft X-ray emitting flare plasma, and the time behavior of these quantities during flares. In addition, a brief description of the instruments is given, the plasma diagnostics used in interpreting the spectra are s-mmarized, and the origin of the thermal soft X-ray emitting plasma is discussed in light of the P78-I results, earlier data, and numerical simulations of magnetic flux tubes heated to solar flare temperatures.

The determination of the location of the region of origin of hard X-rays is important in evaluating the importance of 10-100 keV electrons in solar flares arm in understanding flare particle acceleration. At present only limb-occulted events are available to give some information on the height of X-

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 ha
