• Observe flares (large to<br />
micro) in SXR and HXR<br />
– SXR: thermal brems<br />
continuum and spectral<br />
lines<br />
– HXR: non‐thermal e ‐<br />
brems continuum<br />
• <strong>Solar</strong> Max: Active Regions<br />
during solar max easily<br />
observed in SXR, HXR difficult<br />
• <strong>Solar</strong> Min: Quiet Sun/X‐<strong>ray</strong><br />
Bright Points easily observed<br />
in SXR, HXR difficult<br />
