Abstract

It. has been discovered that. active regions commonly have numerous flare-like transient. loop brightenings. We use a magnetic reconnection theory driven by a ponderamotive force on account. of the basic properties of a transient. brightening: lifetime a few mins, total energy $10^{25}\~10^{29}$ erg. The numerical results are consistent with the observations.
