*Corona
~Temperature around 10 million K
~Chromosphere is about 4500-6000K
*Properties
of Corona
~Origin of High Temperature
~Diffuse region
~Stores energy?
*Solar Flares
~Abrupt release of energy
*LDE
*Impulsive flares
*Properties
of Solar Flares
~Zeeman effect - X-rays and EUV
~Energy source
*Magnetic
Fields, CME's, Magnetic Flux
*Magnetic
Reconnection theory
~evidence of reconnection
~ionized particles and magnetic field
~length scale as very small is most probable
~properties and characteristics
-cause: magnetic field lines stretched above a magnetic flux tube that
becomes disturbed. The disturbance causes a CME, which rises
over the field lines and causes the field lines to rise upward.
-magnetic field lines grow until they break and reconnect and then proceed
to collapse down to a "rest" position. This happens with many field lines
in the same flare so they collapse down on one another and as a result
cause different temperatures to be present within the flare.
*Structure
of Flares
~Cusp-shaped loop
~ribbon-like stucture at base
~CSHKP model
*What was
looked at in flares for this project
~Center column of flare through what would be close to the reconnection
point. Only the part below this point can be seen well in the flares.
~Studied the temperature in this region in hope to see evidence of different
temperature layers and effects of increase or decrease in a certain area
over time in temperature.
