The observational signature of quasi period reconnection
Abstract
Based upon the similar time profiles of the hard x-ray and microwave emissions on 21 April 2002 flare-CME event, we argue that: (1) in the impulsive phase of the flare, the fast loop-loop reconnection triggered the quasi periodic magnetic energy release and particle acceleration with duration of the order of minute, (2) in the extended phase of the flare (01:40-01:50UT), the quasi period reconnection in current sheet produced the impulsive energetic electrons injection and modulated the microwave emissions with duration of 10-30 s, (3) the current driven instability enhances the magnetic energy releasing rate and scatters the energetic electrons, which may be used to explain the power index of the hard X-ray and microwave emissions.
