High resolution X-ray images are used to study the temperature structure and evolution of two spatially resolved, but compact, solar flares. Both flares developed within a magnetic loop whose footpoints were separated by typically 15000 km, and involved primary energy release at one footpoint. This

โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents studies of the vertical structure of hard X-ray flares for two contrasting examples. The 1981 May 13 flare contained a coronal hard X-ray source which was located above 50000 km above the photosphere. On the other hand, the 1981 July 20 flare had a chromospheric double source structure in the initial phase. Electrons in this case were able to stream freely from the corona to the chromosphere.

The dynamics of hard X-ray producing electron beams in solar flares can be strongly affected by the occurrence of a reverse current. The parameter diagram for a beam can be divided into three regimes, one of which is the usual thick target case, the two others being due to two different possible con
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 polarization of hard solar X-radiation (> l0 keV) is calculated on the assumption that electrons get a non-isotropic velocity distribution in the initial phase of a flare. The bremsstrahlung generated by nonthermal electrons spiralling around magnetic field lines with discrete pitch angles is co
