Abstract

We derive an empirical model of the X-ray emitting post-flare loops observed during the decay phase of the 29 July 1973 flare. We find that the loops are elliptical, with the brightest emitting region at the tops. We determine the height, velocity of growth, and ratio of height to width of the loops at times from 3 to 12 hr after the flare onset.
