Todays TopicUsing various phenomena, we derive the information about the energy release via reconnection.I present the estimation of the energy release rate at flares, by multi-wavelength studies of flares.Analyzed flares2000-April-10 Flare (X2.3)2002-July-23 Flare (X4.8)2000-November-24 Flare (X2.3)Suggestion for the observations with Solar-B

Evolution of Flare RibbonsNeutral LineI estimate the reconnection rate vB, and the Poynting flux vB2 as the representations of the energy release rates.

Summary II have estimated the energy release rate from the separation motions of Ha two ribbons and the photospheric magnetic field strengths.
The estimated reconnection rate and the Poynting flux along each slit show good correlation with nonthermal burst.

2000-November-24 FlareTime slice imageThis flare shows many plasmoid ejections, and each of them is ejected at the time corresponding to the HXR burst.Takasaki (2003)Yohkoh/SXT
-
Summary IIDown flow motions and plasmoid ejections show some correlations with HXR/microwave bursts. Strongly depend on the reconnection process.
More quantitative studies are still needed.
