Tearing Instability

The resistive tearing mode instability is a mechanism that in some cases will render unstable a magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium of a plasma that is ideally stable, i.e. stable if no dissipative oiesses are taken into account. There is much experimental evidence that this instability is the cause of the current disruptions observed in laboratory plasma devices (von Goeler et al. 1974). In the astrophysical context, the instability has been invoked in connection with the solar flare energy release mechanism (Coppi and Friedland 1971) and the problem of the disconnection of the protostar matter from the interstellar magnetic field during star formation (Mestel 1966). In the latter problem the tearing instability gives rise to a much smaller timescale for magnetic reconnection than does ordinary resistive diffusion.

Extended AbstractThe Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT: Kosugi et al. 1991) onboard Yohkoh has observed that, in impulsive solar flares, a hard X-ray source is located above the apex of a soft X-ray flaring loop, in addition to double footpoint sources (Masuda et al. 1994, 1995). This observation suggests that flare energy-release, probably magnetic reconnection, takes place not in the soft X-ray loop but above the loop. It is important to derive the hard X-ray spectrum of the above-the-looptop source accurately in order to understand how electrons are energized there. The above-the-looptop source was most clearly observed during the 13 January 1992 flare. However, the count rate, especially in the H-band (53–93 keV), is too small to synthesize high-quality images and to derive an accurate spectrum.
