Recent advances in the understanding of solar flares : 2 : 1987
Abstract
Papers are presented on solar flare discovery, solar flares and magnetic topology, impulsive and hot thermal solar flares, and plasma dynamics at the very initial phases of flares. Also considered are a magnetodynamic mechanism for loop flares, the propagation and confinement of energetic electrons in solar flares, nuclear processes and accelerated particles in solar flares, and optical observations of solar flares. Other topics include delta spots and great flares, chromospheric downflow velocities as a diagnostic in solar flares, and subphotospheric current systems and flares. Papers are also presented on a long-duration balloon payload for hard X-ray and gamma-ray observations of the sun, the derivation of vector magnetic fields from Stokes profiles, and the Solar-A mission.
