Abstract

The energetics and dynamics of a large, select set of simple impulsive spike bursts identified in the HXRBS observations have been studied. The energy in the energetic electrons of these hard X-ray events has been calculated using both thermal and nonthermal models. The degree of correlation between each of these energetics parameters and a measure of the energy content of the associated soft X-ray source as obtained from coincident GOES observations have been determined. In addition to the energetics studies, detailed dynamical studies were carried out with a smaller set of flares for which HXRBS and Bern radio microwave observations enabled spectral fits and parametric analyses to be made as a function of time throughout each burst.
