The Energetics of a Flaring Solar Active Region, and Observed Flare Statistics
M. S. Wheatland
A stochastic model for the energy of a flaring solar active region is presented, generalising and extending the approach of Wheatland & Glukhov (1998). The probability distribution…

An Improved Virial Estimate of Solar Active Region Energy
M. S. Wheatland, T. R. Metcalf
The MHD virial theorem may be used to estimate the magnetic energy of active regions based on vector magnetic fields measured at the photosphere or chromosphere. However, the viria…

The local Poisson hypothesis for solar flares
M. S. Wheatland
The question of whether flares occur as a Poisson process has important consequences for flare physics. Recently Lepreti et al. presented evidence for local departure from Poisson…
