Microflares observed with UVSP and HXISA review of an analysis of SMM (Solar Maximum Mission) microflare observations is presented. The data, from the UVSP (Ultraviolet Spectrometer and Polarimeter) and HXIS (Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer) instruments, show that there are counterparts to UV microflares in x-ray emission characteristic of 10(exp 7) K plasma. Implications of the x-ray/UV relationship for flare distribution functions and coronal heating are discussed, and examples of similar events in SMM quiet Sun data are shown.
