Observational support of reconnection in solar flares

We present a detailed analysis of the magnetic topology of flaring active region. The Hα kernels are found to be located at the intersection of the separatrices with the chromosphere when the shear, deduced from the fibrils or/and transverse magnetic field direction, is taken into account. We show t...
