Scientific paper

It has become apparent that a solar flare has important high-energy aspects. It is pointed out that the facility to obtain simultaneously XUV high-resolution spectra, high-energy X-ray and gamma-ray spectra, and medium-energy EUV and X-ray flare images by the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) and, to some extent, by the Hinotori spacecraft provided the essential data for a breakthrough with respect to an understanding of the flares. Attention is given to the X-ray component of an average flare, flare energies and numbers of particles involved, observational indications on the site and mechanism of the energization, very high-energy phenomena, pre- and postflare energizations, acceleration in electric fields, aspects of reconnection and energization, observational verification and constraints, and ways for energized particles confined in solar flux tubes to escape towards interplanetary space.
