... This flare was observed simultaneously in H alpha, ratio (at microwave and millime­ ter wavelenghts), and soft and hard X­rays (by the Yohkoh spacecraft) with high spatial and moderate spectral resolution. ... Analysis of the microwave/hard X­ray/soft X­ray emission from individual sources provides information on the radio emission mechanisms, the energetic electron population, the magnetic field strenght, and plasma den­ sity. ...

... We present a compilation of the flux densities at 22.25 MHz for 395 radio sources. The flux densities are derived from three or more observations of each source. ... In this paper we present a final list of the flux densities scaled both from the specific observations of individual sources and from scans of the survey of galactic emission. The list comprises revised flux densities of sources listed in paper I and new flux densities for sources measured subsequently. ... Braude, S. Ya.: ...
