| Abstract: | Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain how seismic waves can be generated during a solar flare, several of which
include a major role for accelerated electrons. To address this question further, we have selected two samples of white-light
flares (WLFs): one that has associated sunquakes, and one that does not. We focus particularly on the spatial characteristics
of the hard X-ray (HXR) and WL emission, and the HXR spectral characteristics associated with the flares in both samples,
including spectral hardness, HXR source size, and total injected electron power. Coupling the determined rate of energy deposition
with the area over which the energy is being deposited suggests that in general the acoustically active flares are associated
with a larger and more impulsive deposition of electron energy. However, this does not always correspond to a higher WL contrast. |
