Critical Issues For Understanding Particle Acceleration in Impulsive Solar Flares
James A. Miller,Peter J. Cargill,A. Gordon Emslie,Gordon D. Holman,Brian R. Dennis,T. N. LaRosa,Robert Winglee,Stephen G. Benka,Saku Tsuneta +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the present status of existing models for particle acceleration during impulsive solar flares, was inspired by a week-long workshop held in the Fall of 1993 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Advances in Understanding Particle Acceleration Processes in Solar Flares
Valentina Zharkova,Karpar Arzner,Arnold O. Benz,Philippa Browning,C. Dauphin,A. Gordon Emslie,Lyndsay Fletcher,Eduard P. Kontar,Gottfried Mann,Marco Onofri,Vahé Petrosian,R. Turkmani,Nicole Vilmer,Loukas Vlahos +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theoretical concepts in particle acceleration, with particular emphasis on processes likely to occur in regions of magnetic reconnection, are reviewed, including detailed studies of reconnection in three-dimensional magnetic field configurations, and stochastic acceleration in a turbulent environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Simulations of Impulsively Heated Solar Flares
TL;DR: In this article, the response of a model solar atmosphere to heating by an electron beam has been studied for electron beam flux spectra which are power laws with low-energy 'knees' (rising linearly with time to a peak at 30 s and then falling linearly to 0 at 60 s).
Journal ArticleDOI
RHESSI Hard X-Ray Imaging Spectroscopy of Extended Sources and the Physical Properties of Electron Acceleration Regions in Solar Flares
TL;DR: In this paper, the acceleration and propagation of bremsstrahlung-producing electrons in solar flares were analyzed using hard X-ray images from 10 M-class limb events, observed by the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Observations of Multiwavelength Emissions during Two X-Class White-Light Flares
Yan Xu,Yan Xu,Wenda Cao,Chang Liu,Guo Yang,Ju Jing,Carsten Denker,A. Gordon Emslie,Haimin Wang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Dunn Solar Telescope (DST) and its High-Order Adaptive Optics (HOAO) system were used to observe two X-class white-light flares (WLFs) in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength region.
