The Origin of Underdense Plasma Downflows Associated with Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Flares

Chengcai Shen,
Bin Chen,
Katharine K. Reeves
et al.

Abstract: Magnetic reconnection is a universal process that powers explosive energy release events such as solar flares, geomagnetic substorms, and some astrophysical jets. A characteristic feature of magnetic reconnection is the production of fast reconnection outflow jets near the plasma Alfvén speeds [1,2]. In eruptive solar flares, dark, finger-shaped plasma downflows moving toward the flare arcade have been commonly regarded as the principal observational evidence for such reconnection-driven outflows [3,4].
