Scientific paper

The involvement of the Department of Space Research of the University of Birmingham's in the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) is discussed together with the results obtained by the Hard-X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (HXIS). Among these results, the behavior of solar flares observed during several X-ray burst events in 1980 and the phenomenon of mass ejection are given special attention. The observations of the solar flares have underlined the importance of compact magnetic loop structures during the early impulsive phase of flares and have illustrated the manner in which the heated flare plasma spreads into overlying magnetic structures. Consideration is also given to the energetic charged particle instrument to be flown on Ulysses, and an instrument projected for the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) to study global oscillations of the sun.
