| Description | HXIS (Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer) results related to preflare, flare-decay, and post-flare phases in the solar corona are summarized. Particularly discussed are miniflares, long-lived X-ray enhancements along filament channels, flare precursors (some signifying the flare position, others possibly related to the onset of mass ejections), growth of post-flare loops, images of sites of field-line reconnections late in the flare development, giant post-flare coronal arches with energy contents comparable to coronal transients, and hot loops interconnecting active regions. The extremely low HXIS background, in particular, made it possible to discover many new, previously unknown features in the solar corona. Also emphasized are some problems that have appeared during the evaluation of HXIS data, for the benefit of those who plan future hard X-ray imaging experiments. |
