Abstract

Aditya-L1 mission will carry two high-spectral resolution X-ray spectrometers to study solar flares. The soft X-ray spectrometer will cover the energy range from 1 to 30 keV, while the hard X-ray spectrometer will cover from 10 to 150 keV. These two instruments together will provide opportunities to study the plasma parameters during solar flares as well as acceleration mechanisms of energetic particles during the flaring time.
