Abstract

The reconnecting current sheet model for energy accumulation and release during solar flares results in the flare frequency distribution that is a power-law function of total flare energy, with the index 7/4 for sufficiently large energies. The distribution is predicted to be much steeper in the low-energy region, implying the significance of microand nanoflares for coronal heating.
