Peculiar abundances in Solar particle emissions

Abstract

In this paper we attempt to show that currently available data on solar flare particle abundances allows studies of abundance and enchancement patterns. In particular we show that solar particles originate from regions of temperature around 6 x 10/sup5/K. We also take a look at the direct charge state measurements in small and large flares and show that it is possible to distinguish between the coronal and photospheric components of solar flares. We then deduce the thermal conditions that must be existing during various stages of solar particle flare build up and release.
