Scientific paper

Photographs of 26 solar limb flares observed with a soft X-ray telescope flown on Skylab are analyzed. Large-scale deformations of flare loops that occurred in the course of several events and a small-scale short-lived pertubation of a flare loop, recorded immediately before a type III radio burst, are discussed. It is suggested that the deformations are caused by MHD kinks, implying that the flares occurred in magnetic flux tubes where significant currents were flowing. An account involving the electric field is proposed to explain the type III radio bursts accompanying the small short-lived loop perturbation.
