Transition Region Emission and Energy Input to Thermal Plasma During the Impulsive Phase of Solar Flares

J. C. Raymond, G. Holman, A. Ciaravella +3

The energy released in a solar flare is partitioned between thermal and non-thermal particle energy and lost to thermal conduction and radiation over a broad range of wavelengths.…
