Scientific paper

Characteristic times for the heating and cooling of thermal plasma in X-ray flares are estimated from the time profile of the flare and from the temperature, emission measure and length scale of the flare-heated plasma. It is implied from the empirical values for the characteristic times that flares are produced by magnetic field reconnection; that conductive cooling of the plasma dominates radiative cooling; and that reconnection heating and conductive cooling are approximately in balance at thermal X-ray maximum.
