Magnetic topology of a complex active region

We present a detailed analysis of the magnetic topology of AR 6233 on two consecutive days (August 28 and 29, 1990). We compare the location of the magnetic separatrices and separators with off-band Hα observations and other flare manifestations, such as intense non-thermal electron precipitation an...

Electron precipitation and high coronal pressure sites, and some photospheric intense currents are also found in the immediate vicinity of separatrices. The early kernels of August 28 flare are found closer to the separatrices of the non-potential held, while the later are closer to those of the potential held. All these results agree with the hypothesis that magnetic energy is stored in field-aligned currents and released due to magnetic held reconnection, with a noticeable relaxation of the held, either at the separator region or on separatrices.
