Solar Flares and Collisions between Current-Carrying Loops

Description:

This book links the recent high-resolution observations of solar plasma loops with simulations of current-carrying loops and thus tries to arrive at an understanding of the solar flare phenomenon. It elaborates on a new scheme for the classification of solar flares and compares specific observed flares with theoretical calculations and simulations. It describes and explains the true phases of acceleration in flares.
