Recent EUV observations from the EIT instrument of SOHO have shown the common occurrence of flare-associated global coronal waves, allies of Type II burst exciters and chromospheric Moreton waves. Until now, however, no direct soft X-ray detections have been reported. We have studied Yohkoh SXT observations to understand this apparent discrepancy between EUV and soft X-ray observations,and have now found good X-ray evidence for a large-scale coronal wave launched during an X-class flare of May 6, 1998. During the impulsive phase of this flare, a rapid ( ~ 10(3) km s(-1) ) bright front appeared to the north of the flare core; later a more normal loop-like ejection emerged to the west at a lower projected speed. We identify the rapid front with enhanced X-ray emission from a global coronal wave. Wave signatures also appear in SOHO EIT images and in the meter-wave dynamic spectrum from Hiraiso, and SOHO LASCO detected a coronal mass ejection. NASA supported this work under contract NAS 8-37334.
