Dynamics of changing plasma composition during solar flares

Characterize the dynamics of changing solar-plasma composition during flares and constrain the relative contributions of chromospheric evaporation flows and reconnection flows, compared with other potential mechanisms, to the observed composition changes.

Background

The paper emphasizes that solar flares involve rapidly evolving magnetic fields and strong plasma flows, making the physical interpretation of composition changes unresolved. In particular, it remains uncertain how chromospheric evaporation and reconnection outflows contribute relative to one another and to other possible processes.
