Kappa distribution and hard X-ray emission of solar flares

Original language description

We investigate whether the so-called kappa distribution, often used to fit electron distributions detected in situ in the solar wind, can describe electrons producing the hard X-ray emission in solar flares. Using Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic imager (RHESSI) flare data we fit spatially- and feature-integrated spectra, assuming a kappa distribution for the mean electron flux spectrum. We show that a single kappa distribution generally cannot describe spatially integrated X-ray emission composedof both footpoint and coronal sources. In contrast, the kappa distribution is consistent with mean electron spectra producing hard X-ray emission in some coronal sources. Klíčová slova: solar flares, solar X-rays, data analysis.
