Abstract

Solar flares in three broad EUV spectral bands have been observed from OSO-5 with a grating spectrophotometer. Results are given for three large flares of March 12, March 21 and April 21, 1969. In general the time dependence of flare intensity in each band is characterized by a slowly varying component with impulsive bursts superimposed. Bands 2 (465–630 Å) and 3 (760–1030 Å) are quite similar in their time variations, but band 1 (280–370 Å) shows less impulsive structure, and declines more slowly. Absolute EUV intensities for the flares are estimated, and a comparison made with the 2800 mc s−1 radio emission. A flare model is proposed to account for the EUV time variations during a large flare.
