A search for auroral type motions in solar flaresBecause of analogies between auroras and solar flares, and because of well-established motion along auroras (the so-called westward travelling surge), one might expect systematic motion of brightness to occur along flare ribbons. The Sacramento Peak Observatory flare records of 37 double-ribbon solar flares observed from 1968 to 1972 were examined for evidence of such systematic motion, but results of the investigation were negative.
