Essay

The thesis presents the results of the investigation of the velocities field and physical conditions in the chromospheric and photospheric levels based on spectral observations. The properties of the material motions at the flare H_alpha loops tops and bases are determined before and during the flares of different power. Temporal variations of the line-of-sight velocities at the H_alpha loops are compared with H_alpha and HXR-fluctuations at the different stages of the flare development. The semi-empirical photospheric models of a subflare are constructed. The models show a gradual penetration of the temperature and density inhomogeneities to the photosphere down. The simultaneous modeling of the physical conditions in the chromosphere and photosphere for two H_alpha loops in a bright flare shows a shift of the boundary of the transition layer down into the atmosphere and a presence of a hot region in the photosphere. It is show that a different mechanisms can be efficient at the different stages of the flare development. The processes related to the appearance of a flux tube from the sub-photospheric layers are important before and at the beginning of the flares. At this stage, the faint reconnections at the photospheric levels are possible. The disturbance of the low-temperature layers propagates along the loops to the photosphere down at the impulsive phase. The latter can be a result of the reconnection in the upper atmosphere.
