Some critical problems of solar flare research.
Abstract
Some problems of current interest in the research of energetic solar flare phenomena are reviewed with the aim of determining the open questions in this field. Possible directions in which the solutions may be found are indicated. In this context the following problems are discussed: the need for a determination of the magnetic field structure in the chromospheric and coronal parts of an active region before, during and after the occurrence of a flare, the 'thermal' flares and their differences with respect to the impulsive flares, the energetic relation between the non-thermal and the thermal components of the high-energy flare, the implications of repetitive flare instabilities and continuous acceleration models, the nuclear gamma rays and neutrons as manifestations of the solar effects of accelerated nuclei.
