Description
The conditions within the regions of solar flares which accelerate electrons, and the parameters that lead to those acceleration mechanisms, are not well constrained. It is not clear whether the populations accelerated out into the heliosphere and inward into the chromosphere originate in the same regions via the same mechanisms. By analysing the energy distributions of these populations, it should be theoretically possible to see evidence of their original regions. By creating and utilising a novel in-situ spectral analysis package called INSPEX we have performed this analysis for in-situ observations of a solar flare on 9th of October 2021, deriving both fluence and peak flux spectra from SolO EPD and SWA data. Generating these spectra has proven challenging, and we discuss the processing required to get from raw data to final spectrum. We find that the temperature values discovered with this technique are within the range of 15 − 20 MK, as may be expected for solar flares . Due to certain issues with data on this event from SolO, future work will move on to other suitable events, allowing further refinement of the technique and the results obtained.
