10
Since the 1970s, the conventional wisdom was that a CME carried far more energy than was released during its associated flare. Recent observations by SORCE show that the energy released in a flare is not inconsequential and, in fact, may be comparable to the energy of the CME.

RHESSI and quasi-periodic pulsations
2005-08-16 • submitted by Claire Foullon
7
Giant loops interconnecting the northern and southern hemispheres may explain some remarkable oscillatory structures observed by RHESSI. This is an unexpected application of imaging spectroscopy, but with the spectroscopy in the time domain, rather than in energy.
