Acceleration in a high-energy flare.
Abstract
The authors describe a well-studied flare (21 May, 1984) for which the emission area is a plasma knot of a few hundred km diameter, with a temperature of 5×108K and a magnetic field between 1400 and 2000 G. The authors show that this region coincides virtually with the area of primary energization of the flare. The reconnection area has a diameter not exceeding about 50 km.
