Isolating the Footpoint Characteristics of a Solar Flare Loop

  • Chapter
Magnetodynamic Phenomena in the Solar Atmosphere

Abstract

Results from Yohkoh have shown that when loop footpoints are seen in flares they brighten very early and the emission is fainter than emission from the rest of the loop ((Acton et al., 1992), (Hudson et al., 1994)).
