摘要
The driver of transient solar activity is magnetic free energy stored in non-potential configurations. This energy is released impulsively, within a period of the order of 10 to 1000 seconds, by an as yet not completely understood process or chain of processes. We review our current knowledge of the observed characteristics of energy buildup and release, and the limitations of our understanding. We conclude that the coordinated international research effort, FLARES 22, is necessary for an effective attack on this problem of great importance to astrophysics, space physics, and space exploration.
