Abstract

Using data covering the 2.6–10 Å wavelength range from the OSO-5 satellite a four-parameter model of the emitting region in a flare process is derived. The thermal emission spectrum of Landini and Fossi is used to calculate the plasma parameters, electron temperature and emission measure. The X-ray flare data is explained by a model which treats the source volume as two time-varying temperature regions.
