7519 Flares, 7554 X Rays, Gamma Rays, And Neutrinos
Scientific paper
The Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) observes X-rays and gamma rays from solar flares in the energy range from 3 keV to 17 MeV with a duty cycle of about 50%. The RHESSI observations of the flares during the Storms Workshop period from 14 to 24 April, 2002, will be reviewed. Many GOES C- and M-class flares were observed including the M2.6 flare on 17 April that was followed by a CME. The X1.5 flare on 21 April was particularly well observed with RHESSI in X-rays from its start at 00:40 UT until 01:33 UT on the first orbit, just before the soft X-ray peak. Footpoint emission was detected to energies as high as 200 keV, and a spatially-separated coronal source was identified at energies below about 30 keV. The coronal X-ray source was followed for over 12 more hours on subsequent orbits as it gradually rose to over 130,000 km above the limb. The X-ray images and spectra of this flare will be presented in relation to the TRACE images in the 195-angstrom band and the LASCO images of the associated CME.
