Paper Title: Properties of flares associated with and not associated with CMEs Author List: Nitta, NV Abstract: We study a handful of flares not far from the limb that are and are not associated with CMEs. The questions we ask include: Do short-duration flares associated with energetic CMEs have some characteristic features? Are all flares, eruptive and confined, explained by the so-called standard model? We mainly deal with pre-RHESSI flares. Poster: No
