Observation and Modeling of Shear Evolution of Post-reconnection Flare Loops
Drake Osaben, Jiong Qiu, Dana W. Longcope
A solar flare releases magnetic energy by reconnecting field lines across a current sheet, thereby allowing their relaxation to a lower energy state. The maximum possible energy is…

Determining the 3D Dynamics of Solar Flare Magnetic Reconnection
Joel T. Dahlin, Spiro K. Antiochos, Peter F. Wyper +2
Solar flares are major space weather events that result from the explosive conversion of stored magnetic energy into bulk motion, plasma heating, and particle acceleration. While t…

Quantifying Chromosphere Response to Flare Energy Release Using AIA Observations in 1600~Ã and 304~Ã Passbands
Jiong Qiu, Rhiannon Fleming
Imaging observations of the solar lower atmosphere by the Atmosphere Imaging Assembly (AIA) have been mostly used as the context, and their quantitative information has been much l…
