The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Small-Scale Coronal Events (Invited)
Abstract
To illustrate the importance of magnetic reconnection in the heating of small-scale coronal events examples of reconnection models for X-ray bright points are given. These models include, in two dimensions, the converging flux and the emerging flux models and, in three dimensions, models of particular bright points are discussed. A brief general introduction to reconnection is given which focuses on reconnection at null points in three dimensions.
