THE MOTION OF SPOTS CONNECTED WITH SOLAR FLARES AND THE POSSIBLE CHARACTER OF ENERGY EXIT FROM FLARE REGIONS

Abstract

Photographs of the sun in integrated light were obtained during flares observed in H gen alpha with the AFP-2 and the solar tower telescope, the focus being equal to 12 meters. It is found that: (1) with the appearance and development of flares, a shift of the sunspots is observed in the direction to the flare knots; (2) the commencement of flare development and that of spot motion coincide with a precision of =5 minutes; and (3) the spot motion continues for 2 tohours after the termination of the flare in H-alpha and is probably of a pulsational translational character. The amplitude of pulsation increases with the importance of the flare.
