7/7 Conclusions Our RHESSI -ray flares pointed to a gross asymmetry between the declining phases of the last two cycles This assymetry is visible in SEPs and spots as well The SEP fluence distribution is known to have a sharp cutoff. Does the flare hard X-ray (a.k.a. total energy) distribution do the same? - if not, could we slaughter microbes on a young planet by zapping it with killer flare radiations?
