The Link between Nonthermal Velocity and Free Magnetic Energy in Solar Flares
The cause of excess spectral line broadening (nonthermal velocity) is not definitively known, but given its rise before and during flaring, the causal processes hold clues to understanding the triggers for the onset of reconnection and the release of free magnetic energy from the coronal magnetic fi...
