    A hard X-ray and gamma ray observation of the 22 November 1977 solar flare (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The Franco-Soviet experiment package Signe 2 MP for solar and cosmic X and gamma ray observations, launched aboard a Soviet Prognoz satellite into a highly eccentric earth orbit is described. An uncollimated NaI detector 37 mm thick by 90 mm diameter, placed on the upper surface of the satellite faced the sun. A collimated lateral NaI detector 14 mm thick by 38 mm diameter also faced the sun, and a similar lateral detector faced the anti-solar direction. Data tapes reveal an intense solar flare up to energies of up to 5 MeV, with evidence for line emission at 2.23 MeV and possibly 4.4 MeV. The event observed was associated with the Mc Math Plage Region 15031, and an H-alpha flare of importance 2B. It is not yet clear what radio emission is associated with the X-ray observation.

    Persistent time intervals between features in solar flare hard X-ray emission (1986)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: Several solar hard X-ray events (greater than 100 keV) were observed simultaneously with identical instruments on the Venera 11, 12, 13, 14, and Prognoz spacecraft. High time resolution (= 2 ms) data were stored in memory when a trigger occurred. The observations of modulation are presented with a period of 1.6 s for the event on December 3, 1978. Evidence is also presented for fast time fluctuations from an event on November 6, 1979, observed from Venera 12 and another on September 6, 1981, observed from the Solar Maximum Mission. Power spectrum analysis, epoch folding, and Monte Carlo simulation were used to evaluate the statistical significance of persistent time delays between features. The results are discussed in light of the MHD model proposed by Zaitsev and Stepanov.

    Stereoscopic observations of hard x ray sources in solar flares made with GRO and other spacecraft (1992)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Since the launch of the Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO) in Apr. 1991, the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) instrument on GRO has recorded a large number of solar flares. Some of these flares have also been observed by the Gamma-Ray Burst Detector on the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) and/or by the Solar X-Ray/Cosmic Gamma-Ray Burst Experiment on the Ulysses spacecraft. A preliminary list of common flares observed during the period May-Jun. 1991 is presented and the possible joint studies are indicated.

    A new component of hard X-rays in solar flares (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: High-resolution (approximately 1 keV FWHM) spectral measurements from 13 to 300 keV of a solar flare hard X-ray burst observed on 1980 June 27 by a balloon-borne array of cooled germanium planar detectors are presented. At energies below about 35 keV, a new component of solar flare hard X-rays is identified. This component is characterized by an extremely steep spectrum which fits closely to that from a Maxwellian electron distribution with a maximum temperature of about 34 x 10 to the 6th K and an emission measure of 2.9 x 10 to the 48th per cu cm. This hot isothermal component appears at the peak of the normal power-law-like impulsive X-ray burst component, and it remains isothermal and dominates the X-ray emission below about 30 keV through the decay of the flare event.

    A high-resolution gamma-ray and hard X-ray spectrometer for solar flare observations in Max 1991 (1988)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A long duration balloon flight instrument for Max 1991 designed to study the acceleration of greater than 10 MeV ions and greater than 15 keV electrons in solar flares through high resolution spectroscopy of the gamma ray lines and hard X-ray and gamma ray continuum is described. The instrument, HIREGS, consists of an array of high-purity, n-type coaxial germanium detectors (HPGe) cooled to less than 90 K and surrounded by a bismuth germanate (BGO) anticoincidence shield. It will cover the energy range 15 keV to 20 MeV with keV spectral resolution, sufficient for accurate measurement of all parameters of the expected gamma ray lines with the exception of the neutron capture deuterium line. Electrical segmentation of the HPGe detector into a thin front segment and a thick rear segment, together with pulse-shape discrimination, provides optimal dynamic range and signal-to-background characteristics for flare measurements. Neutrons and gamma rays up to approximately 0.1 to 1 GeV can be detected and identified with the combination of the HPGe detectors and rear BGO shield. The HIREGS is planned for long duration balloon flights (LDBF) for solar flare studies during Max 1991. The two exploratory LDBFs carried out at mid-latitudes in 1987 to 1988 are described, and the LDBFs in Antarctica, which could in principle provide 24 hour/day solar coverage and very long flight durations (20 to 30 days) because of minimal ballast requirements are discussed.

    Directivity of 100-500 keV solar flare hard X-ray emission (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We have identified 28 solar flares simultaneously observed by a SIGNE detector aboard the Venera 13 and Venera 14 spacecraft and the Hard X-Ray Burst Spectrometer (HXRBS) aboard the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM), over a wide range of observing angles. Fourteen of them were also observed by the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) on SMM and were included in a study of the directivity of solar X-radiation. The SIGNE and HXRBS energy coverages overlap in the 50-500 keV range, allowing a detailed comparison of energy spectra. Using this database, we have conducted stereoscopic studies of flare hard X-ray anisotropy. It is found that the 100-500 keV directivity is less than 3, both for the entire set of 28 flares and for the 14 flares which gave evidence for directivity in the SMM GRS study. We conclude that solar flare X-ray directivity can only be marginally present in our energy/observing angle range.

    Solar hard X-ray microflares (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Using balloon-borne instrumentation of very high sensitivity, approximately 25 hard X-ray bursts with peak fluxes of above 7 x 10 to the -3rd/(sq cm s keV) at 20 keV have been detected, in 141 minutes of observation of the sun on June 27, 1980. These hard X-ray microflares last from a few seconds to several tens of seconds and have power-law energy spectra. They are generally accompanied by small soft X-ray bursts, but H-alpha flares and solar radio bursts are reported for only a few of these hard X-ray bursts. The integral number of events varies approximately as the inverse of the peak flux, down to the limits of the measurements. These observations suggest that even very small transient releases of energy by the sun may be primarily nonthermal in character. It is speculated that the energy released in accelerated electrons for these microflares, averaged over time, may contribute significantly to the heating of the active corona.

    Short solar events with evidence of repetitive structures (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Several short (less than 40 s) solar hard X-ray events (greater than 100 keV) have been observed simultaneously with identical instruments on the Venera 11, 12, 13, and 14 and Prognoz 7 (Franco-Soviet Signe experiments) spacecraft. High time resolution (equal to or greater than 2 ms) data were stored in memory when a trigger occurred. The observations reported here were made by Prognoz 7 and V12 which were closer to the sun at the time and provided good statistics. Observations of modulation with a period of 1.6 s for the event on 1978 December 3 are presented. Also presented is evidence for fast time fluctuations from an event on 1979 November 6, observed with Venera 12, and another on 1981 September 6, observed with the Solar Maximum Hard X-Ray Burst Spectrometer. Power spectrum analysis, epoch folding, and Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the statistical significance of persistent time delays between features. The results are discussed in light of the MHD model proposed by Zaitsev and Stepanov (1982) and Zaitsev, Stepanov, and Chernov (1984).
