Particle Acceleration and X-Ray Emission During Flares
Eduard Kontar (University of Glasgow)
Abstract. During periods of sporadic solar activity, the Sun effectively converts magnetic energy into kinetic energy of accelerated particles in solar flares. These energetic particles are particular well observed via bright microwave radio and hard X-ray emissions. In the talk, I will highlight recent success in X-ray observations with RHESSI. The physics of energetic electrons and comparison between models in the view of recent observations will be presented.
