Ribbons and field at high resolution
Abstract
The TRACE data let us define the geometry of flare ribbons with great precision, as for example in the Bastille Day 2000 flare. We study the UV and EUV ribbon motions for this event in comparison with the loops seen by SXT and in the TRACE high-temperature response, and compare these also with the photospheric magnetic field as observed by MDI. In this work we assume the standard model for large-scale coronal magnetic reconnection as a source of flare energy, and search for a correlation between footpoint locations, magnetic field strength and flare energy release as measured by hard X-ray emission.
