Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulation of a solar flare is performed using a newly developed MHD code including nonlinear anisotropic heat conduction effect (Fig. 1; Yokoyama & Shibata 1997a). The numerical simulation starts with a vertical current sheet which is line-tied at one end to a dense chromosphere. The flare energy is released by the magnetic reconnection mechanism stimulated initially by the resistivity perturbation in the corona. The released thermal energy is transported into the chromosphere by heat conduction and drives chromospheric evaporation. Owing to the heat conduction effect, the adiabatic slow-mode MHD shocks emanated from the neutral point are dissociated into conduction fronts and isothermal shocks (Yokoyama & Shibata 1997b). Temperature and derived soft X-ray distributions are similar to the cusp-like structure of long-duration-event (LDE) flares observed by the soft X-ray telescope aboard Yohkoh satellite. On the other hand density and radio maps show a simple loop configuration which is consistent with the observation with Nobeyama Radio Heliograph. Two interesting new features are found. One is a pair of high density humps on the evaporated plasma loops formed at the collision site between the reconnection jet and the evaporation flow. The other is the loop-top blob behind the fast-mode MHD shock.

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.

The magnetic breakout model gives an elegant explanation for the onset of an eruptive solar flare, involving magnetic reconnection at a coronal null point which leads to the initially enclosed flux ‘breaking out’ to large distances. In this paper we take a topological approach to the study of the conditions required for this breakout phenomenon to occur. The evolution of a simple delta sunspot model, up to the point of breakout, is analysed through several sequences of potential and linear force-free quasi-static equilibria. We show that any new class of field lines, such as those connecting to large distances, must be created through a global topological bifurcation and derive rules to predict the topological reconfiguration due to various types of bifurcation.
