On the Origin of Gamma-Ray Emission From the Behind-the-Limb Flare on 29 September 1989

Abstract

Solar gamma-ray line (GRL) emission was observed by the Gamma Ray Spectrometer on SMM in association with a flare behind the west limb on 29 September 1989. We present observations that support a CME-driven coronal shock as a plausible source of the energetic protons that produced the GRL emission on the visible disk. Gamma-rays, Solar flares, Solar energetic particles.
