We analyzed the multiwavelength observations of the
X1.3/2B solar flare at 8 UTC on 1991 March 13. It was observed in H
a
with the fast digital Ha-Camera
at Locarno-Monti Switzerland, with the radiotelescopes in Bern and in hard
X-rays (HXR) and gamma-rays (GR) by PHEBUS on board of the French-Russian
GRANAT satellite. In this paper we present the analysis of the temporal
and spatial evolution of this flare. It is found that the Ha
emision arises from four kernels. The time evolution of each kernel comprises
both a fast component which is well represented by the HXR time profile
and a slow component which reflects the time integrated HXR emission. The
relative intensity of both components varies from one kernel to another
and with the different episodes of particle injection. In addition: there
is some evidence of correlated Ha
and HXR subsecond time structures during the first part of the HXR/GR event.
These results are discussed in the framework of currents models of flares
and particle acceleration.
