Effect of Asymmetry on a Trap Model for Solar Hard Xray Bursts
1979
Publications Astronomical Society of Australia
The basic model for the precipitation of trapped energetic particles from a magnetic flux tube is Kennel and Petschek's (1966) model. Their model is symmetric, implying equal precipitation rates at the two feet of the flux tube. We have developed a model for precipitation in an asymmetric flux tube (Melrose and White 1979). Here we explore some of the consequences for the precipitation model of Melrose and Brown (1976) for solar hard X-ray bursts. In Melrose and Brown's model roughly half the
