| Abstract: |
Magnetic reconnection is widely accepted as being associated with energy release during solar flares;
however, observations of it have been indirect and/or incomplete. Using the suite of instruments
available spanning wavelength space, we provide observations and measurements of both the inputs and
outputs predicted from reconnection in the form of inflows preceding outflows (i.e. supra-arcade
downflows, supra-arcade downflowing loops, upflows, and disconnection events). We also present
evidence for current sheets through which reconnection is expected to occur and discuss current sheet
motion during flare progression. |
