Thermal and non-thermal energies of solar flares [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2005
The energy of the thermal flare plasma and the kinetic energy of the non-thermal electrons in 14 hard X-ray peaks from 9 medium-sized solar flares have been determined from RHESSI observations. The emissions have been carefully separated in the spectrum.
