Scientific paper

Hard X-ray and gamma-ray observations of solar flares by the Yohkoh satellite are reviewed. A special attention is paid for hard X-ray imaging with the Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT), which has provided us with new information on where and how energetic electrons are accelerated, transported, and lose their energy in the flaring magnetic loop structure. It has been revealed that several different types of hard X-ray sources coexist in a flare. They are ``(double) footpoint source(s)'', ``loop-top impulsive source'', ``loop-top gradual source'', ``remote-site impulsive source'', ``super-hot thermal source'', and so on, each of which may represent a different aspect of flare energetics. General characteristics of these types of sources are summarized and their interrelation and implication discussed.
