Popis: The correlation between the pulsed and smooth components of ultraviolet radiation and hard X-rays from solar flares has been interpreted on the basis of the time behavior of the energy flux penetrating from the magnetic field reconnection region to the boundary of the heated region. It has been shown that the time behavior of the primary flare energy flux is easily reconstructed from the time profile of the intensity of hard X-rays, and the time profile of the intensity of ultraviolet radiation represents the release of the flare energy in the flare transient layer. The smooth or pulsed component of the ultraviolet radiation depends on the form of the primary energy release. Information on the dynamics of the heating process and the formation and equalization of the gas pressure in the flare transient layer has been obtained from the observed temperature dependence of the emission measure. The described scheme explains the set of flare phenomena and the correlation between hard X-rays with pulsed ultraviolet bursts.
