Scientific paper

The impulsive phase of solar flares has been simultaneously observed in the ultraviolet O V line, the UV continuum, and hard X-rays with a time resolution of 0.128 s by the SMM satellite. A close time correspondence between the three impulsive components is found, with the best correlation being at the peak of the impulsive phase. Individual bursts or fast features in the O V and the UV continuum are shown to lag behind the corresponding hard X-ray features. None of the considered energy transport mechanisms (thermal conduction, a nonthermal electron beam, electron hole boring, UV radiation, and Alfven waves) are able to consistently account for the observed temporal correlations.
