✦ Synopsis

We consider potential sources of infrared (1/t to 1 ram) continuum in solar flares. Several mechanisms should produce detectable fluxes: in the 350/z window for ground-based observations, impulsive emission will arise in synchrotron radiation from 1-10 MeV electrons, and possibly thermal (free-free) continuum from the source of the white-light flare; the hot flare plasma responsible for soft X-ray emission will also emit detectable fluxes of free-free continuum in the largest flares. At shorter wavelengths the dominant infrared emission will come from the Ha flare itself. Observations in the infrared wavelengths will help to complete our picture of flare structure in both the impulsive and gradual phases.

Exploratory observations at 20/~ and 350/t have determined detection thresholds for solar flares in these wavelengths. In the 20/1 range solar atmospheric fluctuations (the 'temperature field') set the basic limits on flare detectability at ~ 5 K; at 350/~ the extinction in the Earth's atmosphere pr

A study is made of Lyman continuum observations of solar flares, using data obtained by the Harvard College Observatory EUV spectroheliometer on the Apollo Telescope Mount. We find that there are two main types of flare regions: an overall 'mean' flare coincident with the Ha flare region, and transi
