POTENCIAL DO BSS

• solar bustsassociated with impulsive phase of the flares and determination of:

exiceted and emitting agents acceleration region parameters of chromospheric evaporation

• temporal fragmentation in the energy release

• emission mechanism for FEs

• multi-spectral investigations

High resolution, high sensitivity and wide band will permit to investigate:
