Non-gaussian velocity distributions in solar flares from extreme ultraviolet lines: A possible diagnostic of ion acceleration

NLS Jeffrey, L Fletcher, N Labrosse - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
In a solar flare, a large fraction of the magnetic energy released is converted rapidly to the
kinetic energy of non-thermal particles and bulk plasma motion. This will likely result in non …
