The spectral evolution of impulsive solar X-ray flares
The spectral evolution of impulsive solar X-ray flares
The time evolution of the spectral index and the non-thermal flux in 24 impulsive solar hard X-ray flares of GOES class M was studied in RHESSI observations. The high spectral resolution allows for a clean separation of thermal and non-thermal components in the 10-30 keV range, where most of the …
