The Relation Between Dashes and Flares (Physical Nature of the Dash Phenomena)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The phenomenon of dashes in the eruptive loop prominences is found to represent the part of the solar flare process which includes all the levels of the Sun's atmosphere. For 75% of observations a coincidence of dashes and flares in space and time was discovered. The rest of the dash observations may be interpreted as the excitation of dashes by the flares arising outside the limb.
Following the solar flare theory of Alfvén and Carlquist, the possibility to interpret the dashes as the eruptive instability of the pinch-effect is discussed. The computation of flare-current magnetic field gives the value H ∼ 3·104 oersted, its order being in agreement with the observed value.
