Solar Flares, Gamma-Ray Spectra

Scientific paper

Although solar flare is one of the nearest site of particle acceleration in stellar coronae estimation of flare-accelerated electron spectra from gamma-ray spectra of solar flare has long been a problem in studying solar flares. Traditional estimation formula between spectral indices of electron δ and spectral indices of photons γ does not include the effect of Compton scattering. We recalculated the relation including this effect, and show that γ strongly depends on the electron pitch angle and the observer's viewing angle.
