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.

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.

After nearly a decade of flare observations from the Solar Maximum Mission ( SMM ) the time has come to pause to review what has been accomplished and to identify the problems that remain to be solved. SMM has not only produced a comprehensive database on a variety of active-Sun phenomena but also taught us how to coordinate observations with ground-based observatories and other spacecraft to produce a more holistic view of the complex energy release and transport processes that we call a flare. SMM had a unique combination of four imaging instruments which emphasized the spectroscopy of the solar atmosphere. They were the Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer, the Bent Crystal Spectrometer, the Flat Crystal Spectrometer, and the Ultraviolet Spectrometer/Polarimeter. To illustrate the power of these instruments, this paper will describe the results of various studies of energy release, transport, and deposition phenomena during the onset of flares.
