Recent advances in the understanding of solar flares : proceedings of the U.S.-Japan seminar held at Komaba, Tokyo, 5-8 October 1982
Abstract
Papers are presented on recent research concerning the understanding of solar flares, including the general characteristics of flares; energy transport, and chromospheric heating and evaporation; emission processes and source structure; and high energy photons, nuclear processes, and particle acceleration. Topics addressed include magnetic theories of solar flares, nonthermal and nonequilibrium effects in soft X-ray flare spectra, the thermal evolution of flare plasmas, upper limits on the total radiant energy of solar flares, energetic electrons as an energy transport mechanism in solar flares, the spatial characteristics of microwave bursts, and the relation between hard X-ray spectra and electron energy spectra. Also examined are the pre-flare and post-flare X-ray variations in active regions, the imaging of impulsive solar flare phenomena, the vertical structure of hard X-ray flares, the spatial structure of high energy photon sources, gamma-ray lines and neutrons from solar flares, and a dynamical interpretation of the very hot region appearing at the top of a loop.
