= Ellerman bombs
{wiki=Ellerman_bombs}
Ellerman bombs are a type of astrophysical phenomenon associated with flares occurring in the lower solar atmosphere, particularly in the chromosphere and transition region of the Sun. They are characterized by localized, explosive bursts of energy and are believed to be related to the magnetic activity and interactions in the Sun. Ellerman bombs typically manifest as temporary brightenings in the H-alpha solar spectrum, indicating significant energy release and associated with the presence of magnetic reconnection events.
