The Role of Magnetic Shear in Reconnection-driven Flare Energy Release

Using observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory’s Atmosphere Imaging Assembly and the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, we present novel measurements of the shear of post-reconnection flare loops (PRFLs) in SOL20141218T21:40 and study its evolution with respect to magnetic reconn...
