X-ray observations have revealed energetically significant numbers of very small hard X-ray bursts, termed microflares by Lin et al. The authors have simultaneously observed the Hα counterparts of serveral of these microflares. It is found that microflares occur in regions that are also productive of larger flares, suggesting that they may be components of the larger flare event. All but the weakest miroflares show pronounced impulsive-phase red asymmetry in Hα. Their energetics, interpreted using the thick-target nonthermal model of electron transport, implies that these events are substantially underresolved at the authors' spatial resolution and have a true area of 1015- 1016cm-2.
