β¦ Synopsis
Radiative cooling and heat conduction determine the temperature structure of flare plasmas along magnetic field. It is shown that both in the case of slow heating and of impulsive heating, temperatures are distributed in such a way that classical collisional heat conduction is valid.

Solar flare occurrence follows a power-law distribution against total flare energy. W: dN dW with an index e ~ 1.8 as determined by several studies. This implies (a) that microflares must have a different, steeper distribution if they are energetically significant, and (b) there must be a high-energ
We briefly review the status of models of optical flare heating by electron bombardment. We recompute Brown's (1973a) flare model atmospheres using considerably revised radiative loss rates, based on Canfield's (1974b) method applied to Ha, La, and H-. Profiles of Ha are computed and compared with o
