Abstract

The limb event of 13 August 1973, observed by Skylab in soft X-rays, has all the typical characteristics of the giant post-flare arches observed by HXIS and FCS on board SMM in the 1980s. Skylab images provide us with 4–5 times better angular resolution than the SMM experiments and thus, for the first time, make it possible to distinguish the real fine structure of a giant post-flare arch. The image processing of the 13/14 August 1973 event is now in progress.
