Long 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...
متن کاملRadio Spectral Evolution of an X-ray Poor Impulsive Solar Flare: Implications for Plasma Heating and Electron Acceleration
We present radio and X-ray observations of an impulsive solar flare that was moderately intense in microwaves, yet showed very meager EUV and Xray emission. The flare occurred on 2001 Oct 24 and was well-observed at radio wavelengths by the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH), the Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters (NoRP), and by the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA). It was also observed in EUV and X-ray w...
متن کاملGas-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 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 کاملMicroflare Heating of a Solar Active Region Observed with NuSTAR, Hinode/XRT, and SDO/AIA
NuSTAR is a highly sensitive focusing hard X-ray (HXR) telescope and has observed several small microflares in its initial solar pointings. In this paper, we present the first joint observation of a microflare with NuSTAR and Hinode/XRT on 2015 April 29 at ∼11:29 UT. This microflare shows heating of material to several million Kelvin, observed in Soft X-rays (SXRs) with Hinode/XRT, and was fain...
