Abstract

A white light flare was observed at the limb on 16 August 1989 in He 10830 ${\AA}$ spectra, H $\alpha$ slit jaw photo-grams, and white light filter-grams of ${\lambda}=5600{\AA}{\pm}800{\AA}$ . The kernels of the white light flare are not spatially related with Ha brightenings, suggesting that the flare energy would be released at the photosphere.

Keywords
