摘要：
A major puzzle in the study of solar X-ray flares is the presence of a bright, persistent 'kernel' at or near the tops of flaring loops in soft X-ray images from Yohkoh. Here we argue that they can be explained by a tangled magnetic field geometry with unresolved current sheets continually being formed. Hot (20 MK) plasma is formed near the current sheets and is surrounded by plasma which has cooled to ∼ 10 MK plasma so that the two temperatures appear to co-exist. © 2001 COSPAR.
