Scientific paper

Two flares observed with the Solar Maximum Mission Flat Crystal Spectrometer are compared and contrasted. The first (a GOES M1.5 flare) had a gradual rise and a slow decay, while the second (a GOES M5 flare) was much more impulsive. Spectra taken simultaneously of seven bright resonance lines provide information over a broad temperature range (2 - 35 MK) and are available throughout both flares. Simultaneous data from the Bent Crystal Spectrometer are also available, making these events unique in the Solar Maximum Mission database. Elemental abundance variations, non-thermal line broadening, and Superhot component existence are investigated with the aid of a differential emission measure analysis.
