A new series of solar flare energetic X-ray events has been detected by an ionization chamber on the OGO-I and OGO-III satellites in free space. These X-rays lie in the range 10–50 keV, and a study has been made of their relationship to 3 and 10 cm radio bursts and with the emission of electrons and protons observed in space. The onset times, times of maximum intensity and total duration are very similar for the radio and X-ray emission. Also, the average decay is similar and usually follows an exponential type behavior. However, this good correlation applies most often to the ‘flash’ phase of flares, whereas subsequent surges of activity from the same eruption may produce microwave emission or further X-ray bursts not closely correlated. An approximate proportionality is found between the total energy content of the X-rays and of the 3 and 10 cm integrated radio fluxes. These measurements suggest that the X-ray and microwave emission have a common energizing process which determines the time profile of both. The recording of electrons greater than 40 keV by the Interplanetary Monitoring Probe (IMP satellite) has been found to correlate very well with flares producing X-ray and microwave emission provided the propagation path to the sun is favorable. There is evidence that the acceleration of solar protons may not be closely associated with the processes responsible for the production of microwaves, X-rays, and interplanetary electrons. The OGO ionization chamber responds to energies (10–50 keV) intermediate between the soft X-rays giving SID disturbances (1–10 keV) and energetic quanta previously measured with balloons (50–500 keV). Proposed source mechanisms should be capable of covering this range of energies including the most energetic quanta occasionally observed.
