7519 Flares
Scientific paper
The temperature and emission measure evolution of a cooling post-flare arcade are investigated using images and spectra from the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). This C-class flare, observed on 2006 December 17, occurred on the west limb and lasted approximately 8-hours. It is therefore ideally suited for studying how the temperature and emission measure change during a flare. Observable parameters such as temperature and emission measure are compared to theoretical hydrodynamic models to constrain parameters such as the direct and non-thermal heating. Comparing these results to those of a flare with decay time of approximately 1-hour highlights the energies required to sustain such a long duration event. The high time resolution of RHESSI combined with the long duration of the observations are ideal for making a detailed comparison with the predictions of theory.
