We present an overview of solar flares and associated phenomena, drawing upon a wide
range of observational data primarily from the RHESSI era. Following an introductory …

This review surveys hard X-ray emissions of non-thermal electrons in the solar corona.
These electrons originate in flares and flare-related processes. Hard X-ray emission is the …

This two-part book is devoted to classic fundamentals and current practices and
perspectives of modern plasma astrophysics. This second part discusses the physics of …

Magnetic reconnection plays a crucial role in powering solar flares, production of energetic
particles, and plasma heating. However, where the magnetic reconnections occur, how and …

This review covers the techniques, observations, and inferences of solar flare spectroscopy.
It is not a spectroscopist's view of solar flares but rather a solar flare physicist's view of …

We discuss a model of cosmic ray acceleration that accounts for the observations of
anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs) by Voyager 1 and 2. The model appeals to fast magnetic …

We review the presence and signatures of the non-equilibrium processes, both non-
Maxwellian distributions and non-equilibrium ionization, in the solar transition region …

Context. In the present paper, we investigate particle acceleration by direct electric field in
solar flares. Aims. Proton and electron kinetics are considered based on MHD simulations of …

Astrophysics is a highly important part of the modern vision of the world around us. Over the
past century, it has transformed the very foundation and basic philosophical concepts on the …

A bright hard X-ray coronal source observed at the early stage of solar flares is considered.
The plasma density in a quiet corona is not enough to explain the hard X-ray …
