Magnetic field reconnection in the flare of 18:28 UT 1975 August 10.
Abstract
The letter discusses observations of the cited flare made with the Sacramento Peak Observatory 512-diode array, which simultaneously measures photospheric magnetic fields, photospheric and chromospheric velocities, and chromospheric brightness in several lines. The observations suggest triggering of the flare by emergence of new magnetic flux, as well as the geometry of the reconnected field during the flare. Implications of the present observations regarding the site of the initial instability are discussed as well as the relationship to X-ray observations.
