The eruption of a large flare on the east limb of the Sun was observed by the X-Ray Polychromator (XRP) on board the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) on 19 May 1984. The XRP Flat Crystal Spectrometer (FCS) made polychromatic soft X-ray images during the preflare, flare and postflare phases. The XRP Bent Crystal Spectrometer (BCS) provided information on the temperature and dynamics of the hot (Te > 8 x 106K) coronal plasma from spectra integrated spatially over the whole region.
