2 Near-infrared (NIR/1.6 m) image of the X10 flare Dunn Solar Telescope at Sac Peak with high-order AO (adaptive optics) FOV: 91”×91” CCD: 1024×1024 →0.0089”/pixel 2003-Oct-29 20:42 UT Flare onset: 20:37 peak: 20:49
3 NIR time sequence of the X10 flare with RHESSI HXR contour from 20:40 to 20:47 (1 image / 1 min.) Blue: RHESSI HXR contour ( keV channel) Red: local NIR intensity maxima (flare ribbons in NIR)
4 Temporal evolution of the NIR flare ribbons on SOHO/MDI longitudinal magetogram Separation speed: 38 km/s within weak field (700 G), 19 km/s (1400G)
5 Forbes & Priest (1984) and Forbes & Lin (2000) E c : electric field strength along the current sheet v t : ribbon separation speed B n : longitudinal magnetic field (near disk center) ⇒ E c = 45 V/cm (much larger than previous results) Intensity enhancement (18-25 % to quiet-Sun in NIR) → temperature perturbation Wang et al. (1998) → radiative loss ⇒ ergs within 8 minutes
