SSC parameter evolution during flare, analogous to Fig. 10. Left: evolution of the electron distribution during the flare. The dash-dotted lines indicate the location of γ_max. The gray line shows the thermal distribution of electrons, peaking at γ ∼ 50, which sets the minimum acceleration of the electrons for the flare. Right: evolution of the model parameters n_e, R, B, γ_max, and γ_min. For the SSC models γ_max is significantly lower and n_e significantly higher than for the PLCoolγ_max model.
