Scientific paper
The study of solar flares is reviewed, and attention is drawn to: prediction of flares and their properties, effects exerted by flares on the earth, and possible astrophysical implications of flare studies. Emission of X-rays by the corona and by flares, UV emission, and production of hydrogen-alpha (red) light and gamma rays by flares and associations with solar layers are reviewed. Prediction of the time and circumstances of occurrence of flares, and associated magnetic field and other properties, is acknowledged as a crucial goal of flare research. The effect of solar flares on aurorae and on the geomagnetic field, on radio transmission and radar performance, and on power distribution networks is pointed out. A possible analogy between flares and phenomena associated with quasars and explosions in galaxies is ventured.
