abstract = "In previous attempts to show one-to-one correlation between type
III bursts and X-ray spikes, there have been ambiguities as to
which of several X-rays spikes are correlated with any given type
III burst. Here, we present observations that show clear
associations of X-ray bursts with RS type III bursts between 16:46
UT and 16:52 UT on July 9, 1985. The hard X-ray observations were
made at energies above 25 keV with HXRBS on SMM and the radio
observations were made at 1.63 GHz using the 13.7 m Itapetinga
antenna in R and L polarization with a time resolution of 3 ms.
Detailed comparison between the hard X-ray and radio observations
shows: (1) In at least 13 cases we can identify the associated
hard X-ray and decimetric RS bursts. (2) On average, the X-ray
peaks were delayed from the peak of the RS bursts at 1.6 GHz by
400 ms although a delay as long as 1 s was observed in one case.
One possible explanation of the long delays between the RS bursts
and the associated X-ray is that RS bursts is produced at the
leading edge of the electron beam, whereas the X-ray burst peaks
at the time of arrival of the bulk of the electrons at the high
density region at the lower corona and upper chromosphere. Thus,
the time comparison must be made between the peak of the radio
pulse and the start of the X-ray burst. In that case the delays
are consistent with an electron travel time with velocity 0.3 c
from the 800 MHz plasma level to the lower corona assuming that
the radio emission is at the second harmonic.",
