Scientific paper

Consideration is given to the characteristics of hard solar X-ray bursts, with particular emphasis on that hard X radiation emitted during the impulsive phase of the burst, which accounts for the major portion of hard X radiation. Plausible expressions describing differential photon flux at energies above 10 keV are indicated, and thermal and nonthermal flare models corresponding to these expressions are examined. The polarization characteristics of hard burst X-rays are discussed as a possible means of distinguishing between thermal and nonthermal flare models, and planned measurements with a solar flare X-ray polarimeter are noted. Finally, observations made with multi-spacecraft networks and the Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer on board the Solar Maximum Mission concerning the spatial distribution of hard X-ray sources are presented.
