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 solve the energy equation for the high-temperature (coronal) component of flare plasma for two models of energy input: (i) direct collisional heating by a beam of suprathermal electrons, and (ii) ohmic heating by the beam-neutralizing reverse current. We discuss the regimes where each case is app
