  Analysis of the hydrodynamic and helioseismic effects in the photosphere
during the solar flare of July 23, 2002, observed by Michelson Doppler Imager
(MDI) on SOHO, and high-energy images from RHESSI shows that these effects are
closely associated with sources of the hard X-ray emission, and that there are
no such effects in the centroid region of the flare gamma-ray emission. These
results demonstrate that contrary to expectations the hydrodynamic and
helioseismic responses (''sunquakes") are more likely to be caused by
accelerated electrons than by high-energy protons. A series of multiple
impulses of high-energy electrons forms a hydrodynamic source moving in the
photosphere with a supersonic speed. The moving source plays a critical role in
the formation of the anisotropic wave front of sunquakes.
