Imaging coronal magnetic-field reconnection in a solar flare (2013, background): “RHESSI X-ray fluxes(30) are shown as red (blue) contours in the 4-10 (10-20) keV bands at 10, 40, and 80% of the maximum in each image.”
An Observational Overview of Solar Flares (2011, background): “The hottest outer loops sometimes exhibit a “cusp” (Figure 1.4) consistent with the shape of the field that would be expected below a coronal current sheet; this cusp is most pronounced later in the gradualphase of the flare (Tsuneta et al. 1992; Yokoyama et al. 2001; Hara et al. 2008).”
Ultraviolet spectroscopy of the extended solar corona (2006, background): “Yokoyama et al. (2001) reported inward motions near the cusp of an event on 18 March 1999 seen with EIT (though Chen et al. 2004 have questioned this interpretation).”
PLASMOID EJECTIONS AND LOOP CONTRACTIONS IN AN ERUPTIVE M7.7 SOLAR FLARE: EVIDENCE OF PARTICLE ACCELERATION AND HEATING IN MAGNETIC RECONNECTION OUTFLOWS (2013, background): “Imaging and Doppler observations have also revealed bi-directional magnetic reconnection inflows (Yokoyama et al. 2001; Milligan et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2010), outflows (Innes et al. 1997; Ko et al. 2003; Wang et al. 2007; Nishizuka et al. 2010; Hara et al. 2011; Watanabe et al. 2012), or both (Lin…”
The EUV Imaging Spectrometer for Hinode (2007, methodology): “Much evidence for reconnection has been based on imaging alone (e.g., Yokoyama et al., 2001).”
The standard flare model in three dimensions - III. Slip-running reconnection properties (2013, background): “Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the core process at work in these events, with numerous observational evidence (e.g. Tsuneta et al. 1992; Schmieder et al. 1997; Yokoyama et al. 2001; McKenzie 2011).”
Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation of a Solar Flare with Chromospheric Evaporation Effect Based on the Magnetic Reconnection Model (2001, methodology): “Yokoyama et al. (2001) Ðnd a merging pattern of EUV threads into the soft X-ray cusp region in an erupting limb Ñare and interpret this as the inÑow to the magnetic reconnection point.”
Particle acceleration and kinematics in solar flares – A Synthesis of Recent Observations and Theoretical Concepts (Invited Review) (2002, background): “…Canfield et al. 1994, Canfield and Reardon 1998, Moore et al. 2001, 7) Antiochos 1998, Antiochos, DeVore, and Klimchuk 1999, Aulanier et al. 2000, 8) Yokoyama et al. 2001, Blackman 1997. release process was dubbed nanoflaring, which could account by its cumulative effect for continuous coronal…”
Direct Observations of the Magnetic Reconnection Site of an Eruption on 2003 November 18 (2005, methodology): “One of the advantages of this work over that of Yokoyama et al. (2001) is that the reconnection outflow in the present case might be observed.”
Observations of Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection within a Solar Current Sheet (2018, background): “…the Earth and remote sensing observations such as cusp-shaped flare loops (Masuda et al. 1994), inflows and downflows near the reconnection region (Yokoyama et al. 2001; Savage & McKenzie 2011; Takasao et al. 2012; Liu et al. 2013; Liu 2013; Xue et al. 2016), double hard X-ray coronal sources…”
Evidence for the Formation of a Large-Scale Current Sheet in a Solar Flare (2003, background): “…tip of the cusp (Tsuneta 1996), a hard X-ray source located above the soft Xray loops (Masuda et al. 1994), horizontal inflow above the cusp region (Yokoyama et al. 2001), downflow above the cuspshaped loops (McKenzie & Hudson 1999), and an upwardejected plasmoid above the loops (Shibata et al.…”

SIMULTANEOUS OBSERVATION OF RECONNECTION INFLOW AND OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2010 AUGUST 18 SOLAR FLARE (2011, background): “…looptop hard X-ray sources (Masuda et al. 1994), plasmoid ejection (Shibata et al. 1995; Tsuneta 1997; Ohyama & Shibata 1998), reconnection inflows (Yokoyama et al. 2001; Narukage & Shibata 2006; Li & Zhang 2009), reconnection outflows (Wang et al. 2007), supra-arcade downflows (McKenzie & Hudson…”
OBSERVING FLUX ROPE FORMATION DURING THE IMPULSIVE PHASE OF A SOLAR ERUPTION (2011, background): “The ejection of the magnetic flux rope caused a decrease of magnetic pressure at both sides of the CS and thus led to an inflow toward the CS (Yokoyama et al. 2001).”
