Short Presentation

The X-Ray Polychromator (XRP) resumed operations on 24 April 1984 following the successful in-orbit repair of the Solar Maximum Mission Satellite. Since that time the two instruments that comprise the XRP, the Flat Crystal Spectrometer (FCS) and the Bent Crystal Spectrometer (BCS), have been used to obtain new spectroscopic data from active regions and flares. The FCS, in particular, has accumulated far more observations of soft X-ray line profiles than were obtained during SMM-I in 1980. For this short presentation, we have chosen two topics to illustrate the type of data that we have obtained since the repair.

Recombination Processes

Solar flare spectra in the ultraviolet and X-ray wavelength regions are rich in emission lines from highly ionized ions, formed at temperatures around 10 7 K. These lines can be used as valuable diagnostics for probing the physical conditions in solar flares. Such analyses require accurate atomic data for excitation, ionization and recombination processes. In this paper, we present a review of work which has already been carried out, in particular for the Solar Maximum Mission observations, and we look to future requirements for Solar-A .

Three Phases

The solar flare is discussed in terms of its three phases: energy storage, energy release, and dissipation. Some of the problems associated with theoretical modelling are considered, together with the limitations imposed by current observations. New measurements to be made by the N.A.S.A. Solar Maximum Mission satellite are expected to advance significantly our understanding of the flare mechanism.

Line Intensities

During the last few years, observations of solar phenomena have been carried out by rocket flights, manned satellites like Skylab, unmanned satellites like Orbiting Solar Observatories and more recently Solar Maximum Mission. The wavelengths, line intensities and line profiles in UV and X-ray regions of the solar spectra have been measured. The spectroscopic data obtained are of high spatial and spectral resolution. The goal is to understand the physical properties of the emitting plasma and determine the electron temperatures, densities and volume of the emitting plasma from UV and X-ray spectra.
