Scientific paper

The morphological evolution of XUV flare emissions is studied for a solar flare observed during the Skylab mission, and observational evidence is found for a possible identification of a kink or helical instability in a magnetic flux loop associated with the flare. The evolution of the loop as seen in 256-A He II emission is described, showing that the kink instability lasted about 2 to 4 min, caused the flux tube to wriggle, and produced lateral motion of the loop in the observations with theoretical calculations of the kink instability reveals a close correspondence between observed and theoretical values of such parameters as critical current for instability and growth rate.
