Scientific paper

Several hundred solar flares, including several X-class flares, have been observed successfully with the Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) aboard YOHKOH during the initial six-month observation period. The hard X-ray images taken simultaneously in four energy bands covering from 15 to 100 keV with angular and temporal resolution of about 5 arcsec and 0.5 s, respectively, reveal the acceleration and confinement mechanisms of energetic electrons in solar flares, with the aid of soft X-ray images also taken by YOHKOH and ground-based observations. This paper provides the following: (i), a summary of the instrumental performance of HXT from the point of view of its science capability, i.e., sensitivity, imaging quality, etc.; (ii), a statistical derivation of the average height of hard X-ray sources (dependent on the observing photon energies) and a comparison with existing theories; (iii), case studies of source characteristics of several well-observed flares.
