Using hard X-ray burst spectrometer total counts as calibration, the author investigates how the brightness of γ-rays above 300 keV changes as a function of the heliocentric angle of a flare. The normalized γ-ray brightness, on the average, increases with the heliocentric angle; a flare at the limb is estimated to be 13 times brighter in γ-rays than a similar flare near the central meridian. Both pancake-like electron distributions and downward beam distributions can be adjusted to produce the deduced limb brightening.
