Abstract:
We investigated the impact of the observed photospheric footpoint motion
on the formation of current sheets in transition region and corona as
well as the topology of the consequent 3D reconnection. We provide
arguments to improve the observation of the photospheric plasma motion
because, as we show, it is necessary to consider both, the action of
shear motion and the pre-existence of a specific magnetic topology for
reconnection together to understand where, when and how reconnection can
take place in the solar atmosphere.
