AbstractWe studied the unique EUV spectra of the 21 Jan. 1974 flare observed by the NRL Normal-Incidence Slit Spectrometer (SO 82B) onboard the Skylab. The results show that the pre-impulsive transition region plasmas exhibited enhanced turbulence and heating before the acceleration of energetic particles. The absence of blue-shifted components in the Fe XXI line profiles shows that the chromospheric evaporation is not important in this flare.

AbstractUsing coordinated X-ray and Hα observations of five solar flares, we investigate the dynamics of chromospheric condensations formed during chromospheric evaporation. We show that the peak downflow velocity of condensations predicted by simple hydrodynamic compression of the chromosphere is in good agreement with empirical downflow velocities implied by impulsive phase Hα redwing Doppler shifts. This agreement indicates that the Hα wing redshift provides a useful diagnostic of the pressure excess in the evaporating region and, hence, the energy flux driving chromospheric evaporation.

AbstractWe have improved previous model calculations of the prominence-corona transition region including the effect of the ambipolar diffusion in the statistical equilibrium and energy balance equations. We show its influence on the different parameters that characterize the resulting prominence theoretical structure. We take into account the effect of the partial frequency redistribution (PRD) in the line profiles and total intensities calculations.
