An observational overview of solar flares

L Fletcher, BR Dennis, HS Hudson, S Krucker… - Space science …, 2011 - Springer
We present an overview of solar flares and associated phenomena, drawing upon a wide
range of observational data primarily from the RHESSI era. Following an introductory …

Physical processes in magnetically driven flares on the sun, stars, and young stellar objects

AO Benz, M Güdel - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The first flare on the Sun was observed exactly 150 years ago. During most of the long
history, only secondary effects have been noticed, so flares remained a riddle. Now the …

Plasmoid ejections and loop contractions in an eruptive M7. 7 solar flare: evidence of particle acceleration and heating in magnetic reconnection outflows

W Liu, Q Chen, V Petrosian - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Where particle acceleration and plasma heating take place in relation to magnetic
reconnection is a fundamental question for solar flares. We report analysis of an M7. 7 flare …

Global properties of solar flares

HS Hudson - Space Science Reviews, 2011 - Springer
This article broadly reviews our knowledge of solar flares. There is a particular focus on their
global properties, as opposed to the microphysics such as that needed for magnetic …

Temporal evolution of chromospheric evaporation: case studies of the M1. 1 flare on 2014 September 6 and X1. 6 flare on 2014 September 10

H Tian, PR Young, KK Reeves, B Chen… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
With observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, we track the complete
evolution of∼ 11 MK evaporation flows in an M1. 1 flare on 2014 September 6 and an X1. 6 …

The existence of hot X-ray onsets in solar flares

AF Battaglia, H Hudson, A Warmuth, H Collier… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. It is well known among the scientific community that solar flare activity often begins
well before the main impulsive energy release. However, a consistent explanation for this …

[HTML][HTML] Interrogating solar flare loop models with IRIS observations 2: plasma properties, energy transport, and future directions

GS Kerr - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 - frontiersin.org
During solar flares a tremendous amount of magnetic energy is released and transported
through the Sun's atmosphere and out into the heliosphere. Despite over a century of study …

High-resolution observations of flare precursors in the low solar atmosphere

H Wang, C Liu, K Ahn, Y Xu, J Jing, N Deng… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Solar flares are generally believed to be powered by free magnetic energy stored in the
corona, but the build up of coronal energy alone may be insufficient to trigger the flare to …

Cold Solar Flares. I. Microwave Domain

AL Lysenko, SM White, DA Zhdanov… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We identify a set of∼ 100" cold" solar flares and perform a statistical analysis of them in the
microwave range. Cold flares are characterized by a weak thermal response relative to …

He I 10830 Å dimming during solar flares. I. The crucial role of nonthermal collisional ionizations

GS Kerr, Y Xu, JC Allred, V Polito… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
While solar flares are predominantly characterized by an intense broadband enhancement
to the solar radiative output, certain spectral lines and continua will, in theory, exhibit flare …
