Magnetic Shear and Flares
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
Magnetic tension posseses low values at regions of large magnetic “shear” on the polarity inversion line. The low tension allows for a non-force-free field that depends on the density of the medium. Instabilities which can modify the density may then possibly evolve into solar flares. Heuristic arguments are given to favour instability driven flare scenarios.
