X-ray Spectral Synthesis in Hydrodynamic Flare Models
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Compact solar flares are triggered by sudden energy release in magnetically confined plasma. This class of flares is well suited to be studied with numerical hydrodynamic models. In particular, one can compare the evolution of observed and synthetic X-ray spectra, computed under various assumptions for the mechanism of impulsive energy deposition, to constrain theoretical models and their parameter space. We discuss recent results on solar flares along this line, non thermal to models of energy depositions by relativistic electron beams. We shall also discuss possible applications of X-ray spectral synthesis to stellar flares.
