Abstract

Abstract The Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT), now under fabrication for the SOLAR-A mission (scheduled for launch in August 1991), is an advanced Fourier-synthesis imager. An overview of the HXT instrument is given together with its scientific objectives, that is, the electron acceleration and confinement mechanisms in solar flares. Scientific return from HXT will be greatly increased if worldwide collaboration with other space and ground-based observations is well organized.
