A long duration flare observed at the limb on December 17th with the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on Hinode exhibits many features characteristic of reconnection. Cusp-shaped loops are clearly resolved by XRT, and these loops show convincing evidence of field line shrinkage. In addition, the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) detects a hard X-ray loop top source that extends into the cusp structure visible in the XRT images. The implications of these observations for reconnection theories of solar flares will be discussed.
The US XRT team is supported by a contract from NASA to SAO. Hinode is an international project supported by JAXA, NASA, PPARC and ESA. We are grateful to the Hinode team for all their efforts in the design, development and operation of the mission.
