Solar flare x-ray spectra between 7. 8 and 23. 0 angstroms. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5757358
We present high resolution x-ray spectra taken during a large solar flare on 10 June 1979. Many lines of highly ionized iron are resolved and identified for the first time in solar spectra. Lines with a wide range of excitation temperatures are found to have a similar time development during the flare's rapid rise phase. We discuss density-sensitive line ratios in Fe XXI and Fe XXII.
