The relation between the electron and X-ray bremsstrahlung spectra in solar flares
Abstract
The spectrum of X-ray bremsstrahlung photons is calculated for an exponential spectrum of radiating electrons injected in a solar flare. In a thick-target model the photon spectrum will be steeper than the initial electron spectrum, unlike the case when the electrons are injected with a power-law spectrum.
