Abstract

The observed burst durations of Elementary Flare Bursts (5–25 s), as well as the related other flare characteristics, such as the temperature (30–50 MK), the electron density (log ne = 10 to 11) and the magnetic field strengths (100 G to 200 G) can be explained quantitatively by the mechanism of explosive coalescence.
