Turbulent Kinetic Energy in the Energy Balance of a Solar Flare

Harra, L. K.; Kontar, E. P.; Perez, J. E. +5 more

The energy released in solar flares derives from a reconfiguration of magnetic fields to a lower energy state, and is manifested in several forms, including bulk kinetic energy of the coronal mass ejection, acceleration of electrons and ions, and enhanced thermal energy that is ultimately radiated away across the electromagnetic spectrum from opti…
