Scientific paper

The paper discusses and evaluates the suggestions made by Machado et al. (1978) on how to reconcile the observed temperature enhancements at temperature-minimum levels in solar flares with some theoretical heating mechanism. The objective is to gain deeper insight into the nature of the photospheric flare. The discussion focuses on the validity of the assumption of H(-) LTE at temperature-minimum levels, as well as on EUV irradiation and Joule heating by steady currents as heating mechanisms. It is found that, unless there are strong inhomogeneities associated with either heating mechanism, neither can reasonably be reconciled with observations. It is concluded that detailed high-resolution (both spatial and temporal) measurements are necessary to further the present understanding of the flare process at temperature-minimum levels.
