Walt, M., Newkirk, L.L. and Francis, W.E. (1979). Bremsstrahlung produced by precipitating electrons. Journal of Geophysical Research 84: doi: 10.1029/JA084iA03p00967. issn: 0148-0227.

Theoretical values are presented of the bremsstrahlung flux escaping the atmosphere for various incident electron fluxes. The assumed incident electron fluxes were isotropic with exponential energy spectra. The escaping bremsstrahlung intensity, energy spectra, and angular distributions depend on the incident electron flux characteristics, indicating that measurements of bremsstrahlung can be used to derive information on the electron precipitation.
