Flare: motion of H-alpha kernels and coronal sources. Haisheng Ji Purple Mountain Observatory Nanjing, China. Method to determine the positions of H-alpha kernel (centroid):. But, we need to subtract the background, in order to get the real motion !. T1. T2. Region 1. Region 2. T1.

Method to determine the positions of H-alpha kernel (centroid): But, we need to subtract the background, in order to get the real motion !
T1 T2 Region 1 Region 2
T1 T2 Region 1 Region 2
The November 1, 2004 M-class event taken at Purple Mountain Observatory with 1s cadence
The M-class flare of August 17, 2002. BBSO full disk images with 1 minute cadence
Rhessi HXR source at different times
12-25 keV ‘Height’ of the HXR sources Centroid distance of the two conjugate Ha kernels
Further work needed: • Classify H-alpha kernel motions • Get fine structure of H-alpha kernel motions • HXR source motions To infer reconnection behavior Thanks!
