| Abstract: |
The cooling of a post-flare loop system as observed by TRACE and SOHO/CDS, SOHO/EIT, GOES and RHESSI is studied and compared to the predictions of recent solar flare models. The observed C-class flare cools from ≤ 10 MK to ∼ 0.25 MK in approximately 45 mins via conduction and radiation. Using theoretical modelling, conduction was found to dominate during the first 3 min of the decay phase, after which radiation became the dominant loss mechanism (∼ 30 min). We aim to study the flare cooling process using high resolution observations from Hinode/EIS. |
