Title: X-ray and EUV observations as diagnostic of accelerated electrons and atmospheric response in solar flares
by Dr. Marina Battaglia (FHNW, Windish)
Abstract:
The signatures of solar flare accelerated electrons and atmospheric response to flare energy input are most readily observed in X-ray and EUV wavelengths. Modern observatories such as RHESSI, SDO, and IRIS provide high spatial, high temporal, and high spectral resolution data over a broad range of X-ray and EUV wavelengths. Combining observations from these instruments allows us to study flare accelerated electrons and atmospheric response to flare energy input over a broad energy range and considerably enhances the diagnostic potential compared with single-instrument observations. I will give an overview of some recent results from combined X-ray and EUV observations of solar flares and will present methods that allow for true simultaneous exploitation of these rich data-sets.
