Scientific paper

We discuss the properties of white light flares on the basis of the published accounts of these events, together with the associated Hα flares, radio bursts, X-ray bursts, proton events and ionosperic distrubances. In addition, spectral plates taken at Purple Mountain Observatory since 1962 have been examined. We found that 5% of the spectrograms of solar flares show variable white-light emission. A minority of the white light flares are associated with Hα flare of small importance classes. We think these may be caused by perturbations originating in the convective zone below, while the majority accompanied by high-energy events are caused by the bombardment of energetic particles from above.
