Abstract
Potential field computations have been carried out to study the location of hard X-ray sources observed by the HINOTORI hard X-ray imaging instrument, SXT. Of the two flares studied, the X-ray source of the 1981 May 13 event, a very unusual gradual flare, appears to lie at the top of an arcade of field lines. In the other event, the 1981 October 15 flare, the observed double source structure is not explained in the present computation, implying the existence of non-negligible electric currents in the flare region.
