RECONNECTION OUTFLOWS AND CURRENT SHEET OBSERVED WITH<i>HINODE</i>/XRT IN THE 2008 APRIL 9 “CARTWHEEL CME” FLARE
Supra-arcade downflows (SADs) have been observed with Yohkoh/SXT (soft X-rays (SXR)), TRACE (extreme ultra-violet (EUV)), SoHO/LASCO (white light), SoHO/SUMER (EUV spectra), and Hinode/XRT (SXR). Characteristics such as low emissivity and trajectories which slow as they reach the top of the arcade are consistent with post-reconnection magnetic flux tubes retracting from …
