Solar Electromagnetic Emission

Scientific paper

Millimeter-interferometer observations of flares are used to study the MeV-energy electrons accelerated in solar flares. The focus of this study is a remarkable similarity found in the time profiles of emission associated with the impulsive onset of a flare. In a large fraction of flares, the impulsive phase emission at millimeter wavelengths consists of a rapid rise (~5 seconds) linear in time to a sharp peak, followed by an exponential decay with a decay constant of order 15 seconds. The onset of millimeter emission may be delayed by several seconds with respect to the onset of hard X-rays. The implications of this homologous property are discussed briefly.
