This paper outlines the current understanding of solar flares, mainly focused on
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes responsible for producing a flare. Observations …

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares are the large-scale and most energetic
eruptive phenomena in our solar system and able to release a large quantity of plasma and …

Where particle acceleration and plasma heating take place in relation to magnetic
reconnection is a fundamental question for solar flares. We report analysis of an M7. 7 flare …

We report the simultaneous extreme-ultraviolet observation of magnetic reconnection inflow
and outflow in a flare on 2010 August 18 observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on …

Supra-arcade downflows (SADs) have been observed with Yohkoh/SXT (soft X-rays (SXR)),
TRACE (extreme ultraviolet (EUV)), SOHO/LASCO (white light), SOHO/SUMER (EUV …

In the wake of the 2003 November 4 coronal mass ejection associated with the largest solar
flare of the last sunspot cycle, a current sheet (CS) was observed by the Ultraviolet …

We present a detailed examination of downflow motions above flare loops observed in the
2002 July 23 flare. The extreme-ultraviolet images obtained with the Transition Region and …

Magnetic flux emerges from the solar surface as dark filaments connecting small sunspots
with opposite polarities,,. The regions around the dark filaments are often bright in X-rays …

ABSTRACT The Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS) is the first solar instrument to
observe∼ 10 MK plasma at subarcsecond spatial resolution through imaging spectroscopy …

We perform resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the internal structure of
current sheets that form during solar eruptions. The simulations start with a vertical current …
