Scientific paper

Potential sources of infrared (1 micron to 1 mm) continuum in solar flares are considered. Several mechanisms should produce detectable fluxes: in the 350 micron window for ground-based observations, impulsive emission will arise in synchrotron radiation from 1-10 MeV electrons, and possibly thermal (free-free) continuum from the source of the white-light flare; the hot flare plasma responsible for soft X-ray emission will also emit detectable fluxes of free-free continuum in the largest flares. At shorter wavelengths the dominant infrared emission will come from the H alpha flare itself. Observations in the infrared wavelengths will help to complete the picture of flare structure in both the impulsive and gradual phases.
