Abstract: | During the solar flare of June 10, 1990, the WATCH instrument of the GRANAT space observatory obtained 110 localizations of the X-ray source in the X-ray range 8–20 keV. Its coordinates were measured with an accuracy of ~2 arcmin at a 3σ confidence level. The coordinates of the X-ray source do not coincide with the coordinates of the Hα-line flare. The X-ray source moved over the solar disk during the flare. This probably implies that, as the X-ray emission was generated, different parts of one loop or a system of magnetic loops dominated at different flare times. |
