Abstract

A unified model of flares, which we call the plasmoid-induced-reconnection model, is presented. This model explains various observed features (e.g., homologous flares, time scale, energy release rate) of impulsive flares, LDE flares, giant arcades associated with filament eruptions or CMEs, and microflares in a unified scheme. This model is an extention (a unified version) of the CSHKP model and the emerging flux model.
