@article{TandbergHanssen1980DynamicsOF, title={Dynamics of flare sprays}, author={Einar Tandberg-Hanssen and Sara F. Martin and Richard T. Hansen}, journal={Solar Physics}, year={1980}, volume={65}, pages={357-368} }
During solar cycle No. 20 new insight into the flare-spray phenomenon has been attained due to several innovations in solar optical-observing techniques (higher spatial resolution cinema-photography, tunable pass-band filters, multi-slit spectroscopy and extended angular field coronagraphs). From combined analysis of 13 well-observed sprays which occurred between 1969–1974 we conclude that (i) the spray material originates from a preexisting active region filament which undergoes increased…
