Just how bursty is X-ray data?
2007-07-23 • submitted by R.T. James McAteer
56
The singular complexity of solar flares is clear at first glance. Thankfully, there exists a theory of complexity. In this nugget, the methods of complexity theory are applied to a solar flare light curve.

Thermal X-ray Continuum - Free-Free or Free-Bound?
2007-06-26 • submitted by Enrico Landi and Brian Dennis
54
Continuing from the last nugget more technically: the free-bound spectral component is much more important in interpreting the flare emission than had previously been realized, especially as regards Fe abundance.

2007-06-13 • submitted by Brian Dennis
53
An introduction to the intricacies of the flare continuum which may not be as simple as we all assume. Enter free-bound emission.

A myriad of microflares
2007-05-20 • submitted by Iain Hannah and Steven Christe
52
RHESSI has been operating for over five years now and a new flare-finding algorithm has found a total of 24,799 microflares. Some first results show that they are well-associated with magnetic active regions.
