Magnetic reconnection configurations and particle acceleration in solar flares
Numerical simulations of two types of flares indicate that magnetic reconnection can provide environments favorable for various particle acceleration mechanisms to work. This paper reviews recent test particle simulations of DC electric field mechanism, and discusses how the flare particles can escape into the interplanetary space under different magnetic configurations.
متن کاملParticle acceleration in solar flares: observations versus numerical simulations
Solar flares are generally agreed to be impulsive releases of magnetic energy. Reconnection in dilute plasma is the suggested trigger for the coronal phenomenon. It releases up to 1026 J, accelerates up to 1038 electrons and ions and must involve a volume that greatly exceeds the current sheet dimension. The Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager satellite can image a source in the coron...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration by Fast Modes in Solar Flares
We address the problem of particle acceleration in solar flares by fast modes which may be excited during the reconnection and undergo cascade and are subjected to damping. We extend the calculations beyond quasilinear approximation and compare the acceleration and scattering by transit time damping and gyroresonance interactions. We find that the acceleration is dominated by the so called tran...
متن کاملStochastic particle acceleration by helical turbulence in solar flares
Flaring release of magnetic energy in solar corona is only possible if the magnetic field deviates from a potential one. We show that the linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes excited on top of the non-potential magnetic field possess a non-zero kinetic helicity. Accordingly, this necessarily results in a noticeable kinetic helicity of the turbulence, composed of these linear modes with variou...
متن کاملParticle-acceleration timescales in TeV blazar flares
Observations of minute-scale flares in TeV Blazars place constraints on particle acceleration mechanisms in those objects. The implications for a variety of radiation mechanisms have been addressed in the literature; in this paper we compare four different acceleration mechanisms: diffusive shock acceleration, second-order Fermi, shear acceleration and the converter mechanism. When the accelera...
