Scientific paper

The author considers the effects of radiation directivity on the interpretation of SMM γ-ray flare observations. If the electron anisotropy is independent of flare size, then the size distribution of 300 keV - 1 MeV flares is much flatter than that of X-ray flares. This implies that larger flares have, on average, harder electron spectra. Distributions of electrons strongly peaked downward into the solar photosphere are not consistent with the data.
