RHESSI observes X-rays down to 3 keV which includes a number of emission lines. They consist mostly of highly ionized Fe lines. There are no lines above about 10 keV.
Figure 1: A synthetic thermal spectra created with Chianti showing the thermal continuum along with line emission.  The red curve shows what RHESSI should observe.  |
