V. ; Ramaty, R. ; von Rosenvinge, T. T. Abstract The authors compare ambient solar atmospheric abundances derived from gamma-ray spectroscopy with observations of solar energetic particles. They find agreement between the gamma-ray derived Ne/O ratio and the corresponding mean ratio for 3He-rich flares. Both of these values are significantly higher than inferred coronal Ne/O ratios. It is suggested that the mean Ne/O ratio in 3He-rich flares reflects the composition of the flare plasma rather than the acceleration process.
