The collisional relaxation of electrons in hot flaring plasma and inferring the properties of solar flare accelerated electrons from X-ray observations
Natasha Jeffrey, Eduard Kontar, Gordon Emslie +1
X-ray observations are a direct diagnostic of fast electrons produced in solar flares, energized during the energy release process and directed towards the Sun. Since the propertie…
Collisional relaxation of electrons in a warm plasma and accelerated nonthermal electron spectra in solar flares
E. P. Kontar, N. L. S. Jeffrey, A. G. Emslie +1
Extending previous studies of nonthermal electron transport in solar flares which include the effects of collisional energy diffusion and thermalization of fast electrons, we prese…
Effect of collisions and magnetic convergence on electron acceleration and transport in reconnecting twisted solar flare loops
M. Gordovskyy, P. K. Browning, E. P. Kontar +1
We study a model of particle acceleration coupled with an MHD model of magnetic reconnection in unstable twisted coronal loops. The kink instability leads to the formation of helic…
