The study of the mechanisms involved in solar flares has a remarkable importance not only in the framework of the comprehension of transient phenomena, but also in the context of the coronal heating question. Several authors have in fact suggested that the solar corona might be heated by the same mechanism which causes flares, i.e. the magnetic reconnection. In this framework we have analyzed several images obtained by TRACE satellite at 171, 1600 Å and WL in order to emphasize possible signatures of reconnection in I class loops. The images analyzed concern 5 flares occurred in active region AR 8421 between 29 and 30 December 1998....

Abstract
The study of the mechanisms involved in solar flares has a remarkable importance not only in the framework of the comprehension of transient phenomena, but also in the context of the coronal heating question. Several authors have in fact suggested that the solar corona might be heated by the same mechanism which causes flares, i.e. the magnetic reconnection. In this framework we have analyzed several images obtained by TRACE satellite at 171, 1600 Å and WL in order to emphasize possible signatures of reconnection in I class loops. The images analyzed concern 5 flares occurred in active region AR 8421 between 29 and 30 December 1998....I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
