Gamma Radiation From Flare-Accelerated Particles Impacting the Sun

Abstract

We discuss how remote observations of gamma-ray lines and continua provide information on the population of electrons and ions that are accelerated in solar flares. The radi ation from these interactions also provides information on the composition of the flaring chromosphere. We focus our di scussion on recent RHESSI observations and archival observations made by SMM and Yohkoh.
