TRACE observed this M1 flare on 14 September 2000 in its 171A passband - most sensitive to emission from gas around 1 million degrees. Cooling plasma after the main flare is shown with another smaller flare just beginning.

My Research Interests are
- Nature of solar flares: energetics, hot plasma creation and flows, plasma heating and cooling
- Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs): energy storage, triggering and launching
- Filament heating and eruption
- Eruptions beyond the sun: passage of shocks and driver material through the interplanetary mediumThe structure of emerging magnetic fields that form active regions
My BIG Question about Solar & Stellar Physics is
''How does the solar dynamo really work?''
A Solar Fact I Find Fascinating is
Our species will probably end long before the Sun dies - magnificent if we were to survive against the odds!
One Fact About Me is
In spite of a concern for the Earth's climate, I remain a devotee of formula one car racing.
