A simple trap model of solar hard X-ray bursts is discussed in which nonthermal electrons trapped in a magnetic bottle precipitate into the lower chromosphere through the resonant scattering by whistlers. In -such a model, the X-ray spectra produced from trapped and precipitating electrons have 9 different spectral shape, and both of the spectra will initially soften with time, provided the precipitation dominates over collisional degradation.
The brightness distribution of the quiet Sun at 8.6 mm wavelength is synthesized from off-meridian observations using an eight element east-west interferometer with a maximum base line of 16.38 m (1913A). The observed brightness distribution is practically flat from the disk center to the optical limb. The effective radius of the nearly uniform component is 1.01 R| If the limb brightening is present, the brightening located between 0.95 R| and 1.01 R| and the total flux density of the limb brightening is less than 1% of the total flux density of the.Sun. In addition to the nearly uniform component there exists a coronal component just outside the optical limb.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
