Group 1 primarily focused on
the interpretation of RHESSI hard X-ray spectra and images
and their time evolution.

Update on spectral inversion methods and software
Image reconstruction techniques and imaged spectra
Albedo
X-ray polarization
Image forward fitting and footpoint areas
Electron energy losses and spectral evolution
Height dependence of X-ray sources with energy and time
DC electric field acceleration of electrons and implications
Hard X-ray timing studies with RHESSI
Implications of radio, hard X-ray, and gamma-ray observations for electron propagation and acceleration
Observational and theoretical constraints on particle acceleration mechanisms
