We report on the SDO/AIA and Hinode/EIS observations of a transient coronal loop. The loop brightens up in the same location after the disappearance of an arcade formed during a B8.9-class microflare three hours earlier. EIS captures this…

We present analyses of the spatial and spectral evolution of hard X-ray emission observed by {\it RHESSI} during the impulsive phase of an M1.7 flare on 2003 November 13. In general, as expected, the loop top (LT) source dominates at low…

Plasma composition in flaring regions has been shown to have significant spatial and temporal variations, likely driven by dynamical processes that take place as a consequence of the sudden energy release at the reconnection site. The…

Solar flares are one of the main forces behind space weather events. However the mechanism that drives such energetic phenomena is not fully understood. The standard eruptive flare model predicts that magnetic reconnection occurs high in…
