THE IMPULSIVE X-RAY RESPONSE IN FLARE FOOTPOINTS TOMASZ MROZEK WROCLAW UNIWERSITY ASTRONOMICAL INSTITUTE POLAND
OBSERVATIONS Soft X-Ray Telescope(SXT) grazing incidence telescope AL12 BE119 Hard X-Ray Telescope(HXT) Fourier synthesis imager L 14-23 keV M1 23-33 keV M2 33-53 keV H 53-93 keV
OBSERVATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS • Duration time • Time profile characteristics • SXR/HXR delay • Relative duration
A „typical” impulsive SXR brightening: 1. Lasts about 0.5-1min. 2. Has symmetrical time profile. 3. The diameter is about 2-8 SXT pixels. 4. Temperature below 10 MK and electron density below 1011 cm-3. 5. Relative brightness below 0.1. 6. Lasts several times longer than HXR burst. 7. Shows a delay in comparision with the HXR burst. 8. Delay has Poisson distribution (τ = 35 s).
