Gas-dynamic Shock Heating of Post-flare Loops Due to Retraction following Localized, Impulsive Reconnection
We present a novel model in which shortening of a magnetic flux tube following localized, three-dimensional reconnection generates strong gas-dynamic shocks around its apex. The shortening releases magnetic energy by progressing away from the reconnection site at the Alfvén speed. This launches inward flows along the field lines whose collision creates a pair of gas-dynamic shocks. The shocks r...
متن کاملDiagnostics of solar flare reconnection
Part of Special Issue " Nonlinear processes in solar-terrestrial physics and dynamics of Earth-Ocean-System " Abstract. We present new diagnostics of the solar flare reconnection, mainly based on the plasma radio emission. We propose that the high-frequency (600–2000 MHz) slowly drifting pulsating structures map the flare magnetic field re-connection. These structures correspond to the radio em...
متن کاملFlare Heating in Stellar Coronae
An open question in the field of solar and stellar astrophysics is the source of heating that causes stellar coronae to reach temperatures of millions of degrees. One possibility is that the coronae are heated by a large number of small flares. On the Sun, flares with energies as low as those of microflares are distributed with energy as a power law of the form dN dE ∝ E −α with α ≈ 1.8, and α ...
متن کاملEvaluating Mean Magnetic Field in Flare Loops
We analyze multiple-wavelength observations of a two-ribbon flare exhibiting apparent expansion motion of the flare ribbons in the lower atmosphere and rising motion of X-ray emission at the top of newly-formed flare loops. We evaluate magnetic reconnection rate in terms of VrBr by measuring the ribbon-expansion velocity (Vr) and the chromospheric magnetic field (Br) swept by the ribbons. We al...
متن کاملLong Duration Flare Emission: Impulsive Heating or Gradual Heating?
Flare emissions in X-ray and EUV wavelengths have previously been modeled as the plasma response to impulsive heating from magnetic reconnection. Some flares exhibit gradually evolving X-ray and EUV light curves, which are believed to result from superposition of an extended sequence of impulsive heating events occurring in different adjacent loops or even unresolved threads within each loop. I...
