AbstractWe present the innovative soft X-ray spectro-polarimeter, SolpeX. This instrument consists of three functionally independent blocks. They are to be included into the Russian instrument KORTES, to be mounted onboard the ISS. The three SolpeX units are: a simple pin-hole X-ray spectral imager, a polarimeter, and a fast-rotating drum multiple-flat-crystal Bragg spectrometer. Such a combination of measuring blocks will offer a new opportunity to reliably measure possible X-ray polarization and spectra of solar flares, in particular during the impulsive phase. Polarized Bremsstrahlung and line emission due to the presence of directed particle beams will be detected, and measurements of the velocities of evaporated hot plasma will be made. In this paper we discuss the details of the construction of the SolpeX units. The delivery of KORTES with SolpeX to the ISS is expected to happen in 2017/2018.

AbstractIn this paper we present the method of using far UV spectra of the flare observed by Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for determination of the contribution of the continuum emission to the total UV radiation observed e.g. by SDO in 1600 Å channel. In our method the Si IV (1402.77 Å) line observed by IRIS is used as a proxy of C IV line emission contained in SDO/AIA UV images. Determined intensity of the flare continuum emission can be used to study the physics of the flare heated chromosphere and for better understanding of the emission mechanisms.

Observations and theories of astrophysical y-ray line emission are reviewed and prospects for future observations by the spectroscopy experiments on the planned Gamma-Ray Observatory are discussed.


Although detectable y-ray line emission from various astrophysical sources has been predicted for over two decades, it is only recently that positive results have been obtained. The first unambiguous extraterrestrial lines were from the great solar flares of 2 and 4 August 1972, at 0.5, 2.2 and 4.4 MeV . Earlier reports from balloon observations of lines from the galactic centre and Cen A near 2.2, 4.4 and 6.13 MeV seem not to have been confirmed by more recent spacecraft observations. The 0.5 MeV line seems definitely to have been seen from the galactic centre region. Lines at various energies have also been detected from transient events and during cosmic y-ray bursts. Earlier limits from balloons were at 10 -3 ph cm-2 s -1 ; recent observations and limits are nearer 10 -4 ph cm -2 s -1 . The Gamma-Ray Observatory to be launched in 1985 will carry an array of cooled Ge detectors whose sensitivity will be ca. 10 -5 ph cm -2 s -1 .
