Abstract

Coronal events such as flares or coronal mass ejections derive their energy from the energy stored locally in the magnetic field. This leads to the conjecture that a magnetic implosion must occur simultaneously with the energy release. The site of the implosion would show the location of preflare energy storage, and its detection should have a high priority. The Transition Region and Coronal Explorer EUV observations, for example, have sufficient resolution to show the geometry of a flare implosion by following the motions of tracers in the images.
