Title: Comment on “Model of ionic charge states of impulsive solar energetic particles in solar flares” by M. Dolores Rodríguez‐Frías, Luis del Peral, and Jorge Pérez‐Peraza
Abstract: Attention is drawn to the fact that the numerical code ESCAPE by Rodríguez‐Frías et al. [2001] is in conflict with other models of charge‐changing processes in solar corona, including the most reliable model by Arnaud and Raymond [1992] . We find in the >0.1 MeV nucleon −1 energy range a tendency of the ESCAPE code to overestimate the ionic charge of iron. This implies an underestimation of the density × acceleration‐time product in the ion acceleration region in solar corona.
