Scientific paper

Rosner & Vaiana (1978) proposed an energy storage and release scenario to explain the power-law distributions of transients seen from a wide variety of astrophysical objects including the Sun. We consider whether such a scenario can account for the observed power-law distribution of solar flares. We discuss the quantitative constraints that arise for any physically realizable model of this type and show that such a model is inconsistent with solar flare energy storage in the coronal magnetic field. Not only does this rule out such a model for solar flares, but it also calls into question the application of these models for other astrophysical transients.
