Scientific paper

Recent space observations of the solar atmosphere such as by Yohkoh, SOHO, TRACE, have revealed that the solar atmosphere is much more dynamic than had been thought, and is full of microflares, nanoflares, jets, and mass ejections, which are more or less related to magnetic reconnection. We can now say that magnetic reconnection is ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere, and play major role in producing flares and flare-like phenomena, and possibly play even an important role in heating the corona. Solar B mission will be launched next summer, and we expect that many fundamental puzzles related to reconnection and coronal heating will be solved by Solar B. Here we will discuss recent progress and future prospects (especially with Solar B) in the study of magnetic reconnection in solar plasmas from both theoretical and observational point of view.
