Reconnection and energetic high velocity events in the solar transition region and corona.
Abstract
Energetic high velocity events in the corona and throughout the transition region were observed with the slitless spectrograph SO82A on Skylab in 1973-74. Magnetic reconnection is a strong candidate for the physical mechanism causing the energetic high velocity events. The authors discuss how a reconnection-like mechanism could be related to the observed features. They outline possible observations with SOHO designed to check these hypothesis.
