Microflares observed with UVSP and HXIS
Abstract
A review of an analysis of SMM (Solar Maximum Mission) microflare observations is presented. The data, from the UVSP (Ultraviolet Spectrometer and Polarimeter) and HXIS (Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer) instruments, show that there are counterparts to UV microflares in x-ray emission characteristic of 10(exp 7) K plasma. Implications of the x-ray/UV relationship for flare distribution functions and coronal heating are discussed, and examples of similar events in SMM quiet Sun data are shown.
