On mechanisms of solar flares —some observational tests by using Solar-A

Abstract

The possibilities for using Solar-A observations to discriminate between the thus-far proposed flare mechanisms are discussed. In this context, we point out some thus-far unnoticed restrictions of the “standard” models, and suggest that by relaxing these restrictions we can avoid the difficulties these conventional models encountered. These theoretical pionts indicate what Solar-A observations would be particularly useful for clarifying this topic.
