Scientific paper

It is generally accepted that the hard X rays and centimeter-wavelength (microwave) radio emission from impulsive solar flares come from a common source. The present investigation is concerned with the development of a model for impulsive hard X rays and microwaves under the assumption that they arise from the same distribution of electrons, possibly, but not necessarily, from the same volume of space. An examination is conducted of a model in which the hard X rays and microwaves are produced in a homogeneous volume by a power-law electron distribution (nonthermal model). An investigation is also performed of a multithermal model in which the hard X rays and microwaves come from an inhomogeneous source, a nest of magnetic arches in which the highest temperature electrons are confined to a small core, and where, away from the core, the temperature decreases. It is found that more or less satisfactory models can be constructed using either multithermal or nonthermal, power-law electron distributions.
