Testing a new solar flare scenario - Multiwavelength Correlative Studies
I am proposing a new solar flare scenario based on high-beta plasma disruptions (Shibasaki, ApJ 557, 326). This series of workshops is the best occasion to test this scenario by data analysis. Multiwavelength Correlative Studies are essential for this purpose. Detailed studies of a limited number of well observed events by many instruments (RHESSI, TRACE, SOHO, NoRH) such as the event on April 21, 2002 are necessary.
I am interested in analyzing the event on April 21, 2002.
This event was observed by Nobeyama Radioheliograph and by many other telescopes such as TRACE, SOHO/SUMER, EIT. RHESSI and NoRH can tell us about the non-thermal aspect of the event, and TRACE, SUMER, RHESSI, NoRH can tell us thermal plasma at various temperatures. My particular interst is how the hot (10-20 MK) plasmas are supplied into higher corona. Among the tentative subject you listed in the message to the Group Members, "(5) Plasma conditions in the looptop region" fits well with my interest.
