Scientific paper

We have studied 28 flares in the X-ray magnitude range of A2-A9 using high-resolution Bragg crystal spectrometer data obtained from instrumentation flown on the Yohkoh spacecraft. Flares in the A-class category can be detected in spectral lines of He-like ions formed at low temperatures. Their average temperature is approximately 5 x 106 K, and their emission measure as determined from the S XV resonance line near 5 Å varies between 2 x 1046 and 1 x 1048 cm-3.
