On the origin of HXIS arches
Abstract
During SMM operation in 1980 the HXIS instrument detected a few giant coronal arches, extending to high altitude (≡10 km) and with widely separated footpoints, which always appeared after two-ribbon (2-R) flares. In this paper the authors examine the possibility that HXIS arches form as a results of magnetic reconnection occurring at high levels.
