Active region flickering (click on image to see movie)
|
During observations of a weak active region on 06/03, XRT observed a
persistent point-like flickering near the western edge of the X-ray loop system.
Apparently a small source of magnetic flux repeatedly erupted,
reconnected with the main overlying active region flux -- causing brief
brightenings -- and subsided, only to "try again" later. A small B class
flare can be seen at the end of the sequence.
