| Abstract: |
Recent studies based on Hinode and high resolution
ground-based observations have produced significant results that shed
more light on the physical property of reconnection processes
occurring in the photosphere and chromosphere. For better insights on
this issue, I will review relevant published results together with
previous results, focusing on five questions: (1) Is flux cancellation
a result of magnetic reconnection? (2) At what atmospheric levels does
such reconnection occur? (3) How does magnetic flux retract? (4) How
does plasma respond to reconnection? (5) Is reconnection responsible
for the chromospheric and coronal heating? |
