We are using RHESSI and Hinode/XRT to investigate the energetics and
properties of microflares. RHESSI's imaging and spectroscopy
capabilities allows the characteristics of the non-thermal energy and
where it is deposited to be determined. Hinode/XRT then provides high
sensitive and resolution images of the softer X-rays, showing the
dynamic response of the thermal plasma. This has been done in detail for
individual events (Hannah et al. 2008 A&A in press) and the plan is to
statistically analyze a sample of events.
Participants: I.G. Hannah, S. Krucker, H.S. Hudson, R.P. Lin, E. DeLuca
