The production of lithium in the solar chromosphere and photosphere during white light flares.
Abstract
Recently new values of the lithium formation rate in low energy flares have been reported in the literature. These values are applied to the white light flare phenomenon on the Sun. It is found that the formation rate in the chromosphere is much larger than in the upper photosphere and that the ratio between the time integrated flare created abundance and the initial photospheric abundance is modest in the chromosphere and small in the upper photosphere. The yield of Li6 in the upper photosphere is, however, comparable to the upper limit of Li6 there.
