20 Basic Puzzle of Reconnection 1. What determines the Reconnection Rate? Recent magnetospheric observations and collisionless plasma theory suggest that fast reconnection occurs if the current sheet thickness becomes comparable with ion Larmor radius or ion inertial length (either with anomalous resistivity or collisionless conductivity)

22 Basic Puzzle of Reconnection 1. What determines the Reconnection Rate? Recent magnetospheric observations and collisionless plasma theory suggest that fast reconnection occurs if the current sheet thickness becomes comparable with ion Larmor radius or ion inertial length (either with anomalous resistivity or collisionless conductivity) 2. How can we reach such small scale to lead to anomalous resistivity or collisionless reconnection in solar flares?

39 Can stellar and protostellar flares be explained by magnetic reconnection Yes! mechanism? Indirect evidence has been found in empirical correlation between Emission Measure ( EM n 2 L 3 ) and Temperature (Shibata and Yokoyama 1999, 2002)
40 Emission Measure (EM=n 2 V) of Solar and Stellar Flares increases with Temperature (T) (n:electron density V: volume)(feldman et al. 1995)

49 Total energy of stellar flares Stellar flares Solar flares Solar microflares Superflares Their energy = 10-10^6 times that of the largest solar flares
50 Q: What determines the total energy of flares? A: It is the loop length. The reason why stellar flares are hot => loop lengths of stellar flares are large Shibata and Yokoyama (2002) Cf Isobe et al. 2003, Kawamiti et al. 2008
51 reconnection model of protostellar flare and jets (Hayashi, Shibata, Matsumoto 1996)
52 Why young stars produce superflares? Answer: because young stars are fast rotators. T-Tauri (Pallavicini et al. 1981)
53 Is there a possibility that superflares would occur on our present Sun? Immediate Answer: Superflares would not occur on our present Sun because the Sun is not young so is slow rotator But amazingly, Schaefer et al. (2000) discovered 9 superflares on ordinary solar type stars with slow rotation, though they concluded superflares would not occur on our Sun, because there is no hot Jupiter in our Sun. Is this true? Are superflares really occurring on solar type stars with slow rotation?
54 Our study (Maehara et al. 2012) we searched for superflares on solar type stars using Kepler satellite data Surprisingly, we found 365 superflares on 148 solar type stars (G-type main sequence stars)

58 What is the cause of typical stellar superflare brightness observed variation by? Kepler Brightness of a star and a flare Total energy ~ 10^36 erg It is likely due to rotation of a star Time (day) with a big star spot Maehara et al. (2011)
59 Flare energy vs rotational period There is no hot Jupiter in these superflare stars Stars with period longer than 10 days cf solar rot period ~ 25days Maehara et al. (2011)

65 Can Superflares Occur on Our Sun? Shibata et al. (2013) PASJ, in press (June)
66 1) Big Sunspots are Necessary Condition for Superflares
67 Mechanism of superflare occurrence Basic mechanism of superflare is the same as that of solar flares (i.e. reconnection) because MHD (magneto-hydrodynamics) is scale free Big starspot is necessary E flare fe 10 mag 32 If E f [ erg] L 2 B L 8 spot flare 2 BL spot 3 f 2 B A 8 f B G / 2 spot 2 R 10 L 0.04 erg 24, spot R [ Mx] 3

79 Evidence of superflare? Corresponding to 10^35 erg superflare If this is due to a solar flare (Miyake et al. Nature, 2012, June, 486, 240)
80 Summary Recent solar observations show various evidence of reconnection in solar flares, microflares, and nanoflares, leading to a unified model of solar flares. Plasmoid ejections are ubiquitous in flares and flare-like events, which may play a key role to induce fast reconnection in a fractal (turbulent) current sheet. Stellar flares can also be unified with a reconnection model, if we use the emission measure temperature diagram. Using Kepler data, we found that superflares can occur on Sun-like stars (so on our Sun?) and the occurrence frequency of the superflare whose energy is times that of the most energetic flare of the Sun is once in years. We cannot deny the possibility that superflares would occur on our present Sun!
