Abstract

In the past two decades, great advances have been made in investigating hard X-rays from accelerated electrons in solar flares. This emission is of interest because the means by which flares so efficiently accelerate particles are still not understood. Observations from the RHESSI spacecraft led to better understanding in the imaging and spectral domains, but presented difficulty for time domain analysis at scales less than ~2 seconds. This leaves the behavior of flare emission at small timescales poorly explored. The NSF-funded IMpulsive Phase Rapid Energetic Solar Spectrometer (IMPRESS) CubeSat is designed specifically to measure hard X-ray emission up to 100 keV from flares at a tens-of-ms cadence. This will provide novel constraints for flare particle acceleration models. IMPRESS is a student-centered collaboration between UMN, MSU, SwRI, and UCSC. This presentation will describe the science, mission concept, and some design specifics for IMPRESS.
