✦ Synopsis

Quasi-steady high-temperature current sheets are an energy source during the 'main' or 'hot' phase of solar flares. Such sheets are shown to be stabilized with respect to the tearing instability by a small transverse component of magnetic field existing in the sheets. * Send offprint requests to B. V. Somov.
