Directionality of Bremsstrahlung from Relativistic Electrons in Solar Flares
Abstract
The authors have calculated detailed angular and energy spectra of bremsstrahlung from anisotropic electron distributions in solar flares. The results are compared to observations of gamma-ray limb brightening and to data on the variation of the gamma-ray spectrum with flare position on the Sun.
