TL;DR: An overview of solar flares and associated phenomena, drawing upon a wide range of observational data primarily from the RHESSI era, is presented in this paper, where the focus is on different areas of flare phenomena (footpoints and ribbons, coronal sources, relationship to coronal mass ejections) and their interconnections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current understanding of electron acceleration, energy loss, and propagation in solar flares, and discuss the implications of these new results for the collisional thick-target model, for general flare models, and for future flare studies.

TL;DR: Recently, the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has observed more than 210 global extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) waves in exquisite detail, thanks to its high spatio-temporal resolution and full-disk, wide-temperature coverage as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current understanding of electron acceleration, energy loss, and propagation in solar flares, and discuss the implications of these new results for the collisional thick-target model, for general flare models, and for future flare studies.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of an M7.7 flare on 2012 July 19 observed by SDO/AIA and RHESSI is presented, which suggests that the primary loci of particle acceleration and plasma heating are in the reconnection outflow regions, rather than the magnetic reconnection site itself.
