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 …

Flare observations

AO Benz - Living reviews in solar physics, 2017 - Springer
Solar flares are observed at all wavelengths from decameter radio waves to gamma-rays
beyond 1 GeV. This review focuses on recent observations in EUV, soft and hard X-rays …

The Bragg crystal spectrometer for Solar-A

JL Culhane, E Hiei, GA Doschek, AM Cruise… - Solar Physics, 1991 - Springer
Abstract The Bragg Crystal Spectrometer (BCS) is one of the instruments which makes up
the scientific payload of the SOLAR-A mission. The spectrometer employs four bent …

Observing coronal mass ejections without coronagraphs

HS Hudson, EW Cliver - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
A coronal mass ejection (CME), strictly speaking, is a phenomenon observed via a white‐
light coronal imager. In addition to coronagraphs, a wide variety of other instruments provide …

Solar flares and collisions between current-carrying loops: Types and mechanisms of solar flares and coronal loop heating

JI Sakai, C De Jager - Space science reviews, 1996 - Springer
This paper deals with the temporal dynamics of solar flares. It gives a systematic description
of solar flare models and tries to link the observations to results of simulations. After a review …

RHESSI and TRACE observations of the 21 April 2002 X1. 5 flare

PT Gallagher, BR Dennis, S Krucker, RA Schwartz… - Solar Physics, 2002 - Springer
Observations of the X1. 5 flare on 21 April 2002 are reviewed using the Reuven Ramaty
High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and the Transition Region and Coronal …

The formation of solar prominences by magnetic reconnection and condensation

GW Pneuman - Solar physics, 1983 - Springer
A model for solar quiescent prominences nested in a 'Figure 8'magnetic field topology is
developed. This topology is argued to be the natural consequence of the distention of …

X-ray imaging of three flares during the impulsive phase

A Duijveman, P Hoyng, ME Machado - Solar Physics, 1982 - Springer
The impulsive phases of three flares that occurred on April 10, May 21, and November 5,
1980 are discussed. Observations were obtained with the Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer …

The heating of postflare loops

PJ Cargill, ER Priest - Astrophysical Journal, Part 1, vol. 266 …, 1983 - adsabs.harvard.edu
The heating of postflare loops by slow MHD shocks is considered. Although such loops were
once thought to represent the dying remnant of a two-ribbon flare, it is now realized that they …
