The heating of the solar corona by resistive turbulence of coronal magnetic fields is considered. The theory of this process, based on the Taylor-Heyvaerts-Priest hypothesis and a magnetic relaxation equation, is developed. Such an approach allows one to obtain the successive magnetic reconnection c
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.
We study series of homologous flares, observed in the active region NOAA 2372 by the HXIS on the Solar Maximum Mission and ground based observatories. Changes in the flare homology, particularly those related to the location of the hard X-ray emission, show clear correlation with the development of
