What is Extreme ultraviolet flashes of solar flares observed via sudden frequency deviations: Experimental results about?

Properties of solar-flare EUV flashes measured via a type of ionospheric event, called a sudden frequency deviation (SFD), are presented. SFD's are sensitive to bursts of radiation in the 1-1030 A wavelength range. Hen 303.8/~, Ov 629.7 A, H Ly 972.5/~ and Cn1977.0/~ have essentially the same impulsive time dependence as the 1-1030 A flash responsible for SFD's. Soft X-rays (2-20/~) and certain EUV lines have a much slower time dependence than the 1-1030 A flash. Most SFD's have some fine structure, but marked quasi-periodicity in EUV flashes is quite rare. EUV flashes are closely associated with hard X-ray bursts, white-light emission, microwave radio bursts and small bright impulsive kernels in the Ha flare. The intensity of EUV flashes depends on the central meridian distance of the Hc~ flare location; the intensity decreases at the limb. The total energy radiated in the 10-1030/~ flash for the largest events observed is about 10 al ergs.
