Modeling Electron Acceleration and Transport in the Early Impulsive Phase of the 2017 September 10th Solar Flare

The X8.2-class limb flare on 2017 September 10 is among the best studied solar flare events owing to its great similarity to the standard flare model and the broad coverage by multiple spacecraft and ground-based observations. These multiwavelength …

Measurement of magnetic field and relativistic electrons along a solar flare current sheet

In the standard model of solar flares, a large-scale reconnection current sheet is postulated to be the central engine for powering the flare energy release$^1-3$ and accelerating particles$^4-6$. However, where and how the energy release and …

The Acceleration and Confinement of Energetic Electrons by a Termination Shock in a Magnetic Trap: An Explanation for Nonthermal Loop-top Sources during Solar Flares

Nonthermal loop-top sources in solar flares are the most prominent observational signatures that suggest energy release and particle acceleration in the solar corona. Although several scenarios for particle acceleration have been proposed, the origin …

Tracing Electron Beams in the Sun's Corona with Radio Dynamic Imaging Spectroscopy

We report observations of type III radio bursts at decimeter wavelengths (type IIIdm bursts)—signatures of suprathermal electron beams propagating in the low corona—using the new technique of radio dynamic imaging spectroscopy provided by the …
