An Attempt to Associate Observed Photospheric Motions with the Magnetic Field Structure and Flare Occurrence in an Active Region
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
We have tried to find empirical evidence for the role of photospheric motions in the building up of the flare productive magnetic patterns in Active Regions.
The bright Hα faculae are associated with V∥ structures different from a classical Evershed flow and particularly ‘anomalous’ in the regions and periods of high flare occurrence. The flares observed occurred at ‘crossings’ of the lines V∥ = 0(V ≠ 0) and H∥ = 0 and at places where V∥ = 0 showed abrupt changes of direction. It is suggested that these anomalous V∥ structures are evidence of vortex motions.
