Welcome to the RHESSI Science Nuggets: science notes from RHESSI. The following is a time-ordered list of the latest nuggets added to the wiki. An alphabetical list of nuggets is also available. If you are looking for older nuggets than please visit the old RHESSI Science Nuggets.


92 [[RHESSI Simulations of Complicated Flares]]
5 January 2008 by Lyndsay Fletcher and Jim McTiernan
Comparing simulated images and TRACE images reveal striking similarities but intriguing differences.. Click the title to read more.


91 [[Cycle 24]]
22 December 2008 by Hugh Hudson and Steven Christe
link=Cycle 24
Solar cycle 24 seems to be delayed. Where are the spots? This Nugget discusses the problem and reviews the recent Solar24 meeting, the first in our field to be Wikified.. Click the title to read more.
90 [[Inverse Compton X-rays from relativistic flare leptons]]
1 December 2008 by Alec MacKinnon and Procheta Mallik
link=Inverse Compton X-rays from relativistic flare leptons
Compton scattering makes the Sun visible at high energies, via processes related to the galactic cosmic rays. This is not your ordinary Bremsstrahlung.... Click the title to read more.
89 [[The Rise and Fall of The Low Energy Cut Off]]
17 November 2008 by Ewan Dickson and Eduard Kontar
link=The Rise and Fall of The Low Energy Cut Off
Solar hard X-rays tend to have a power-law distribution in energy, implying infinite photon numbers at low energy (a "soft X-ray catastrophe"). Can we observe what limits this behavior?. Click the title to read more.
88 [[SEPs Link not Confirmed]]
3 November 2008 by Gerry Share and Allan Tylka
link=SEPs Link not Confirmed
The spectral evolution of a solar hard X-ray burst may give a clue to the acceleration of solar energetic particles (SEPs). This RHESSI Science Nugget questions the validity of this predictor.. Click the title to read more.
87 [[The SphinX Instrument on CORONAS-PHOTON]]
22 October 2008 by Janusz Sylwester and Ken Phillips
link=The SphinX Instrument on CORONAS-PHOTON
An exciting new instrument will begin observations at an exciting time.. Click the title to read more.
86 [[The Good Guys and the Rascals]]
13 October 2008 by B. Dabrowski and Arnold Benz
link=The Good Guys and the Rascals
Solar decimetric radio bursts - but only the good guys - correlate well with RHESSI hard X-rays.. Click the title to read more.
85 [[RHESSI Optical Images]]
2008-09-29 by H. Jabran Zahid and Hugh Hudson
link=RHESSI Optical Images
RHESSI makes optical images as well as X-ray and gamma-ray ones. This Nugget explains how.. Click the title to read more.
84 [[Flare Plasma Abundances ---- New X-ray Observations]]
2008-09-15 by Brian Dennis and Richard Starr
link=Flare Plasma Abundances ---- New X-ray Observations
MESSENGER is now exploring Mercury. It is also helping RHESSI to understand the solar X-ray spectrum and measure elemental abundances in flares.. Click the title to read more.
83 [[Hard X-rays from a Jet?]]
2008-08-27 by Hazel Miller Bain and Lyndsay Fletcher
link=Hard X-rays from a Jet?
Observations during the rise phase of a M5.4 flare suggests that hard x-rays may be associated with a jet observed by TRACE.. Click the title to read more.
82 [[Are Stellar Flares like Solar Flares?]]
2008-08-11 by Hugh Hudson and Beate Stelzer
link=Are Stellar Flares like Solar Flares?
In this nugget, we explore an extrasolar flare (aka stellar flare). These stellar and solar flares are similar but it is often in subtle differences that we may learn the most.. Click the title to read more.
81 [[The Microflare Height Distribution]]
2008-07-28 by Steven Christe and Hugh Hudson
link=The Microflare Height Distribution
Another look at microflare positions.... Click the title to read more.
80 [[The McClymont Jerk]]
2008-07-14 by Hugh Hudson and Brian Welsch
link=The McClymont Jerk
The sudden energy release of a flare in the solar atmosphere has many consequences. One of them may be the McClymont Jerk.. Click the title to read more.
