On the Uniqueness and Causal Relationship of Precursor Activity to Solar Energetic Events. I. Transient Brightenings—Introduction and Overview by Karin Dissauer, Graham Barnes, KD Leka, Eric L. Wagner

“…Applying these methods qualitatively to three cases, we find that, prior to solar flares, TBs (1) tend to occur in one large cluster close to the future flare ribbon location and below the separatrix surface of a coronal magnetic null point, (2) are cospatial with reconnection signatures in the lower solar atmosphere, such as bald patches and null-point fan traces, and (3) cluster in the vicinity of strong-gradient polarity inversion lines and regions of increased excess magnetic energy density. …”
