Scientific paper

Results from the high resolution solar X-ray spectrometer experiments on the P78-1 spacecraft are discussed. These results concern physical quantities such as electron temperature and density, turbulence, mass motions, and state of ionization equilibrium, characteristic of the thermal soft X-ray emitting flare plasma, and the time behavior of these quantities during flares. In addition, a brief description of the instruments is given, the plasma diagnostics used in interpreting the spectra are summarized, and the origin of the thermal soft X-ray emitting plasma is discussed in light of the P78-1 results, earlier data, and numerical simulations of magnetic flux tubes heated to solar flare temperatures.
