Scientific paper

Observations of the FUV (wavelength less than 1682 A) continuum by Skylab during an intense solar flare confirm previous calculations that the excitation of this continuum is due to the ionization of neutral silicon atoms near the temperature minimum region irradiated by UV line radiation emitted by the upper chromosphere or transition region. The evidence is an observed proportionality of the continuum intensity with the intensities of C IV (1548/51 A) and C II (1335/36 A) lines.
