Scientific paper

One-dimensional unsteady gasdynamic plasma flows in a strong magnetic field are analyzed which arise during impulsive atmospheric heating by a powerful beam of flare-accelerated electrons. A system of equations describing the chromosphere as a two-temperature gasdynamic medium is given, initial and boundary conditions are determined, and calculations are performed to obtain density, velocity, electron-temperature, and ion-temperature profiles. The numerical results are used to interpret a series of hard X-ray bursts observed by the TD-1A satellite. Temperature and depth distributions of thermal X-ray and UV emission intensity are computed as a function of time for the case of impulsive atmospheric heating by a beam of energetic electrons with a power-law spectrum, and the thermal nature of the instability leading to the formation of cold dense condensations due to radiative cooling of the hot flare plasma is clarified.
