โœฆ Synopsis

The weakly ionized photospheric layer in the sunspot environment satisfies certain dynamo inequalities (Equations ( 11) and ( 13)) resulting in photospheric Hall current systems. The corresponding Joule dissipation is associated with the surrounding plage area. For critical values of the 'driving' or convective winds (speeds >~ 1 kin/s), two stream instability results. The computed energy is of the order of that found in solar flares.

An ejection mechanism for solar surges is discussed. The mechanism is closely related to an earlier proposed model for solar flares founded on current disruption. Hence, the observed connection between surges and flares may be explained in a simple way. The mechanism can also offer explanations of o

The problem of producing the hard X-ray burst at the onset of solar flares may be thought of in terms of the problem of producing the non-thermal electrons which emit the X-rays via bremsstrahlung. Electron acceleration to relativistic energies without similar ion acceleration is difficult to achiev
