Stereoscopic Measurements of Hard Solar X-Rays, and Related Topics

  • Conference paper
The Sun and the Heliosphere in Three Dimensions

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 123))

Abstract

Solar X-ray observations in the >20 keV range are discussed, with emphasis on their implications for electron acceleration. It is shown how measurements of fine time structure, directivity, and the production height of X-radiation may be interpreted in the contexts of thermal and non-thermal electron populations. Recent measurements are reviewed, and the expected contribution of Ulysses is discussed.
