| Abstract: | The active region NOAA 8032 of April 15, 1997 was observed to evolve rapidly. The GOES X-ray data showed a number of sub-flares
and two C-class flares during the 8–9 hours of its evolution. The magnetic evolution of this region is studied
to ascertain its role in flare production. Large changes were observed in magnetic field configuration due to the emergence
of new magnetic flux regions (EFR). Most of the new emergence occured very close to the existing magnetic regions, which resulted
in strong magnetic field gradients in this region. EFR driven reconnection of the field lines and subsequent flux cancellation
might be the reason for the continuous occurrence of sub-flares and other related activities. |
