Article Synopsis
- This study investigates energy release and transfer in two sub-A class solar microflares observed during a 2014 rocket flight, showcasing FOXSI-2's unique imaging capabilities in the hard X-ray regime.
- Utilizing spectral analysis, researchers found high-temperature plasma evidence (~10 MK) and emission measures, suggesting a possible standard thick-target model for the flare's energy source despite a lack of detected nonthermal emissions.
- The FOXSI-2's advanced design provides enhanced sensitivity and resolution, revealing complexities in microflare behavior that suggest they share evolution patterns with larger flares rather than the simpler bursts expected from nanoflares.
