--------------------------------------------- Session Title: New Insights Into The Physics Of White-light Flares

Session Description: The white-light continuum of a solar flare was the first manifestation of a flare ever detected, and this continuum emission contains a large fraction of the total luminous energy of a flare. Thus its identification has always posed an important problem for solar and stellar physics. A zoo of phenomena accompanies these events and their analysis can provide a wealth of information about the solar atmosphere. The focus of the discussion is the manifestation in the visible continuum of flares, from the corona to the solar interior and how multi wavelength observations (RHESSI, IRIS, SDO, Hinode, infrared, NoRH, OVSA) can help our understanding of the mechanics of momentum and energy transfer in the solar atmosphere.
