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 …

Implications of X-ray observations for electron acceleration and propagation in solar flares

GD Holman, MJ Aschwanden, H Aurass… - Space science …, 2011 - Springer
High-energy X-rays and γ-rays from solar flares were discovered just over fifty years ago.
Since that time, the standard for the interpretation of spatially integrated flare X-ray spectra at …

Quasi-periodic fast-mode wave trains within a global EUV wave and sequential transverse oscillations detected by SDO/AIA

W Liu, L Ofman, NV Nitta, MJ Aschwanden… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first unambiguous detection of quasi-periodic wave trains within the broad
pulse of a global EUV wave (so-called EIT wave) occurring on the limb. These wave trains …

Double coronal hard and soft X-ray source observed by RHESSI: evidence for magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration in solar flares

W Liu, V Petrosian, BR Dennis… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present data analysis and interpretation of an M1. 4 class flare observed with the
Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) on 2002 April 30. This …

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 …

An extreme solar event of 20 January 2005: properties of the flare and the origin of energetic particles

VV Grechnev, VG Kurt, IM Chertok, AM Uralov… - Solar Physics, 2008 - Springer
The famous extreme solar and particle event of 20 January 2005 is analyzed from two
perspectives. Firstly, using multi-spectral data, we study temporal, spectral, and spatial …

Observational signatures of electron-driven chromospheric evaporation in a white-light flare

D Li, C Li, Y Qiu, S Rao, A Warmuth… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate observational signatures of explosive chromospheric evaporation during a
white-light flare (WLF) that occurred on 2022 August 27. Using the moment analysis …

Observations of conduction driven evaporation in the early rise phase of solar flares

M Battaglia, L Fletcher, AO Benz - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 - aanda.org
Context. The classical flare picture features a beam of electrons, which were accelerated in
a site in the corona, hitting the chromosphere. The electrons are stopped in the dense …
