Scientific paper

The magnetic reconnection theory for two-ribbon flares and flare loops hypothesizes that the gradual energy release during the decay phase is a direct result of dissipative relaxation of the open coronal magnetic configuration created by an eruptive prominence/coronal transient precursor. This scenario is here developed quantitatively. The major refinements are (1) to use an analytical description of the reconnecting field geometry specifically chosen to characterize the spatial scale of the active region where a flare occurs, and (2) to take account of the fact that the volume occupied by X-ray-emitting plasma (hot loops) generally increases with time during the flare. As a test of the modified theory a new representation of the Skylab observations of the large two-ribbon flare of 29 July, 1973 has been undertaken.
