Evidence for Suppressed Non-thermal Broadening in a Flare Ribbon from Stereoscopic Observations

Ziwen Huang, L. P. Chitta, L. Teriaca

Flare ribbons mark the footpoints of newly reconnected magnetic loops and are commonly associated with strong plasma flows and enhanced non-thermal broadening of transition-region…
