Energy budget in the 2017-09-07 "cold" solar flare

Gregory D. Fleishman, Galina G. Motorina, Sijie Yu +1

A subclass of early impulsive solar flares, cold flares, was proposed to represent a clean case, where the release of the free magnetic energy (almost) entirely goes to acceleratio…

Cold Solar Flares I. Microwave Domain

Alexandra L. Lysenko, Stephen M. White, Dmitry A. Zhdanov +4

We identify a set of ~100 "cold" solar flares and perform a statistical analysis of them in the microwave range. Cold flares are characterized by a weak thermal response relative t…

Data-constrained 3D modeling of a solar flare evolution: acceleration, transport, heating, and energy budget

Gregory D. Fleishman, Gelu M. Nita, Galina G. Motorina

Solar flares are driven by release of the free magnetic energy and its conversion to other forms of energy -- kinetic, thermal, and nonthermal. Quantification of partitions between…

Magnetic Energy Powers the Corona: How We Can Understand its 3D Storage & Release

Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Roberto Casini +12

The coronal magnetic field is the prime driver behind many as-yet unsolved mysteries: solar eruptions, coronal heating, and the solar wind, to name a few. It is, however, still poo…

Radio Echo in the Turbulent Corona and Simulations of Solar Drift-Pair Radio Bursts

Alexey A. Kuznetsov, Nicolina Chrysaphi, Eduard P. Kontar +1

Drift-pair bursts are an unusual type of solar low-frequency radio emission, which appear in the dynamic spectra as two parallel drifting bright stripes separated in time. Recent i…

Spatio-temporal energy partitioning in a non-thermally dominated two-loop solar flare

Galina G. Motorina, Gregory D. Fleishman, Eduard P. Kontar

Solar flares show remarkable variety of the energy partitioning between thermal and nonthermal components. Those with a prominent nonthermal component but only a modest thermal one…
