Abstract: | It is postulated that the solar flare trigger mechanism is a thermal runaway which occurs in the inner corona. This runaway is the result of a radiative power function which decreases with increasing temperature. Relationships of the onsets of H flares, hard X-ray, soft X-ray and centimeter radio bursts are consistent with the model. Flares are shown to be common solar phenomena which occur preferentially in hot and dense active regions. |
