Flare Energetics

  • Chapter
Energetic Phenomena on the Sun

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 153))

Abstract

In this investigation of flare energetics, we have sought to establish a comprehensive and self-consistent picture of the sources and transport of energy within a flare. To achieve this goal, we chose five flares in 1980 that were well observed with instruments on the Solar Maximum Mission, and with other space-borne and ground-based instruments. The events were chosen to represent various types of flares. Details of the observations available for them and the corresponding physical parameters derived from these data are presented. The flares were studied from two perspectives, the impulsive and gradual phases, and then the results were compared to obtain the overall picture of the energetics of these flares. We also discuss the role that modeling can play in estimating the total energy of a flare when the observationally determined parameters are used as the input to a numerical model. Finally, a critique of our current understanding of flare energetics and the methods used to determine various energetics terms is outlined, and possible future directions of research in this area are suggested.
