Scientific paper

An analysis is conducted of the X-ray imaging data obtained for three flares of markedly different characteristics in order to distinguish the relative efficiencies of heating and acceleration in the primary energy release. The computed hard X-ray distribution and energy deposition due to accelerated electrons, with beam and ambient plasma parameters appropriate to each of the observed events, are convolved with the Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer instrument response and compared with observations. In view of the results obtained, the observed emission was primarily due to the strong heating that is intrinsic to a reconnection process within the region of interaction between two magnetic structures seen in the soft X-ray data. Attention is also given to the heating effect of a beam, due to Coulomb losses, during its passage through the flare loops.
