Abstract
The discovery that the simplest impulsive solar bursts at microwaves and hard X-rays have time scales in the range of 10–100 ms suggest that the energy release rates in such small events are comparable to rates attributed to large events. This condition may be reconciled to the concept that observed burst fluxes in solar events are the convolution of many fast primary energetic injections, at various repetition rates.
