Multi-wavelength observations of energy release in solar flares

Solar flare is the most energetic explosion in the solar system. The particles can be accelerated to MeV and even GeV energies by the reconnection electric field produced via magnetic reconnection process in the solar corona. These energetic particles can emit X-rays by bremsstrahlung and millimeter/submillimeter emissions by gyrosynchrotron radiation during flares. For the preparation of ALMA solar investigation, we particularly focus on the disk flare events in this project by combining the radio observations from Nobeyama Radio Observatory or Very Large Array with the RHESSI X-ray and SDO UV/EUV measurements. In addition to the data analyses of solar multi-wavelength observations, students in the summer program can learn the flare-related magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration theories.
