Solar Flares
Abstract
Theoretical and observational data on solar flares, particularly in the area of magnetic field reconnection, are analyzed. The gamma-ray spectrum of a large solar flare observed with the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the SMM is presented. The problems associated with the inability to observe the primary energy release site are mentioned.
