The height of a white-light flare and its hard X-ray sources

JCM Oliveros, HS Hudson, GJ Hurford… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe observations of a white-light (WL) flare (SOL2011-02-24T07: 35: 00, M3. 5)
close to the limb of the Sun, from which we obtain estimates of the heights of the optical …

Implications for electron acceleration and transport from non-thermal electron rates at looptop and footpoint sources in solar flares

PJA Simões, EP Kontar - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 - aanda.org
The interrelation of hard X-ray (HXR) emitting sources and the underlying physics of electron
acceleration and transport presents one of the major questions in high-energy solar flare …

Can flare loops contribute to the white-light emission of stellar superflares?

P Heinzel, K Shibata - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Since the discovery of stellar superflares by the Kepler satellite, these extremely energetic
events have been studied in analogy to solar flares. Their white-light (WL) continuum …
