Scientific paper

Observations of a flare that began in soft X-rays at 20:37 UT on 1980 April 12, at the west limb of the Sun are discussed. The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite was used to obtain X-ray images before the flare and for a period during the decay phase. Hα photographs and the soft X-ray flux measured by the GOES-3 satellite are available throughout the flare. Some alternative models are discussed but insufficient data are available for a full treatment. Overall, the observations are best fitted qualitatively by a model where pre-existing magnetic loop structures are perturbed by the intrusion of new magnetic flux.
