The Winsome Candle Flame Cusp
|
The winsome candle flame cusp came to light after an A8.9 flare in AR 12700. The cusp is a sign that magnetic reconnection is ongoing in the flare loops. After the cusp fades a bright sigmoid forms, indicating this youthful active region will release more flares. Keywords: Flare, Sigmoid, Cusp Filters: thin_Be |
