Variations of flaring kernel sizes in various parts of the H-alpha line profile

Abstract

We analyze the temporal variations of the sizes and emission intensities of thirtyone flaring kernels in various parts of the H{\alpha} line profile. We have found that the areas of all kernels decrease systematically when observed in consecutive wavelengths toward the wings of the H{\alpha} line, but their areas and emission intensity vary in time. Our results are in agreement with the commonly accepted model of the glass-shaped lower parts of the magnetic flaring loops channelling high energy variable particle beams toward the chromospheric plasma. High time resolution spectral-imaging data used in our work were collected using the Large Coronagraph and Horizontal Telescope equipped with the Multi-channel Subtractive Double Pass Spectrograph and the Solar Eclipse Coronal Imaging System (MSDP-SECIS) at the Bia{\l}k\'ow Observatory of the University of Wroc{\l}aw, Poland.
