Abstract
- The present paper is concerned with an analysis of new observations of impulsive hard X-ray and microwave bursts. The results are compared with predictions of a thermal flare model. A description is presented of the thermal model with conduction-front confinement, taking into account the development and previous applications of the model, the high-energy limit of confinement and its implications for microwave emission, the formation of a test based on the revised predictions of the model, and derived parameters. The observations and the test of the model are discussed, giving attention to instrumentation, event selection, selection of a homogeneous sample of impulsive rises,. observed and derived parameters for each rise, a correlation analysis of observed and predicted rise times, uncertainties in the measurements, consistency checks, and a comparison with results of Crannell et al. (1978).
