Abstract

Self-consistent, numerical solutions of the resistive MHD equations in two dimensions show that a quasi-stationary, fast-mode shock is a characteristic feature of the reconnection dynamics of the Kopp-Pneuman model of two-ribbon flares. A preliminary analysis of the effects of radiative cooling and thermal conduction suggests that the fast shock can help trigger a thermal condensation (i.e., a loop prominence) if the reconnecting magnetic fields are sufficiently strong.
