Preflare Nonthermal Emission Observed in Microwaves and Hard X-Rays

چکیده
We present a detailed examination on nonthermal emissions during the preflare phase of the X4.8 flare that occurred on 2002 July 23. The microwave (17GHz and 34GHz) data obtained with the Nobeyama Radioheliograph at Nobeyama Solar Radio Observatory and the hard X-ray data taken with the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager obviously showed nonthermal features in the preflare phase. We also found a faint ejection associated with the flare in the EUV images taken with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer. We discuss the temporal and spatial features of the nonthermal emissions in the preflare phase, and their relation with the ejection.

Impulsive and Gradual Nonthermal Emissions in an X-class Flare
In this paper we present a comprehensive case study of an X-class flare observed on 2001 April 6. The flare consists of two episodes, the first characterized by impulsive spiky bursts and the second by gradual smooth emission at hard X-ray and microwave wavelengths. Emissions in the two episodes are regarded as the impulsive and gradual components, respectively. We compare the temporal, spatial...
متن کاملHard X-ray and Microwave Observations of Microflares
In this paper, we study solar microflares using the coordinated hard X-ray and microwave observations obtained by the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI ) during its open-shutter operation mode and the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA). The events in our study are selected in the energy range of 12–25 keVand are relatively large microflares with an average GOES soft X-ra...
متن کاملMillimeter, Microwave, Hard X–ray and Soft X–ray Observations of Energetic Electron Populations in Solar Flares
We present comparisons of multi–wavelength data for a number of solar flares observed during the major campaign of 1991 June. The different wavelengths are diagnostics of energetic electrons in different energy ranges: soft X–rays are produced by electrons with energies typically below 10 keV, hard X–rays by electrons with energies in the range 10 – 200 keV, microwaves by electrons in the range...
متن کاملNonthermal X-rays from the Galactic Ridge: a Tracer of Low Energy Cosmic Rays ?
A distinct low energy cosmic-ray component has been proposed to explain the essentially constant Be/Fe ratio at low metallicities. Atomic collisions of such low energy ions produce characteristic nonthermal X-ray emission. In this paper, we study the possible contribution of such X-rays to the Galactic ridge emission. We show that they would account for < ∼ 10% of the 10-60 keV luminosity of th...
متن کاملRelative Timing of Solar Flares Observed at Different Wavelengths
The timing of 503 solar flares observed simultaneously in hard X-rays, soft X-rays and Hα is analyzed. We investigated the start and the peak time differences in different wavelengths, as well as the differences between the end of the hard X-ray emission and the maximum of the soft X-ray and Hα emission. In more than 90% of the analyzed events, a thermal preheating seen in soft X-rays is presen...
