Morphology and Spectral Behavior of Solar Hard X-Ray

Lartey A. S, Ekwueme L.

Images of the 17 solar flares, corresponding to 61 individual X-ray bursts observed in four energy ranges (14-23,23-33,33-53 and 53-93 keV) by hard X-ray telescope (HXT) experiment on board of {\it Yohkoh} satellite have been investigated. The images suggested the dimension of hard X-ray sources is of the order of 20 arc sounds and they are of three types: single isolated source ($\sim$30\%), double sources ($\sim$~41~\%), with typical minimum separation of 30 arc seconds and multiple sources ($\sim$29\%). We have adjusted single power law spectrum for the X-ray emissions in the range of (20-830keV) using data of Hard X-ray Spectrometer (HXS) experiment. Spectral time of these bursts has been also investigated. Typical spectral index behavior is ¡Èsoft-hard-soft¡É.
