Fast Release Mechanisms
SQ1This group will focus on what mechanisms facilitate the fast release of magnetic energy that takes place in impulsive flares?
-
Onset of flare energy release
SQ2This group will focus on the main science question of what controls the onset of flare energy release?
-
Electron Energization
SQ3This group will focus on the question of why and how do flares transfer a large fraction of released magnetic energy into energetic electrons?
-
Ion acceleration during impulsive flares
SQ4This group will focus on the science question: what mechanism drives energization of ions and the measured abundance enhancements of some species during impulsive flares?
-
Particle Transport
SQ5This group will focus on addressing what mechanisms control the energetic particle transport in flares?
-
Flare and Nanoflare heating
SQ6This group will focus on addressing the role of small-scale reconnection events (nanoflares) in coronal heating.
