A comparison of positions and sizes of sources of centimeter and X-ray bursts

Results are reported for a parallel study of three centimeter-wave radio bursts observed on August 9, 1973, with the NRAO three-element interferometer at 3.7 and 11.1 cm and the associated X-ray flares observed with the S-054 telescope aboard Skylab. Within the errors of the measurements, the radio and X-ray events are cospatial. Good agreement is found between the size of the X-ray kernel and that of the core of the centimeter burst, but there is evidence that much of the impulsive radio flux was produced in a larger area.
