We have analyzed an active region which was observed in H alpha (Multichann
el Subtractive Double Pass Spectrograph), in UV lines (SMM/UVSP), and in X-
rays (SMM/HXIS). In this active region there were only a few subflares and
many small bright points visible in UV and in X-rays. Using an extrapolatio
n based on the Fourier transform, we have computed magnetic field lines con
necting different photospheric magnetic polarities from ground-based magnet
ograms. Along the magnetic inversion lines we find two different zones: (1)
a high-shear region (> 70 degrees) where subflares occur, and (2) a low-sh
ear region along the magnetic inversion line where UV bright points are obs
erved. In these latter regions the magnetic topology is complex with a mixt
ure of polarities. According to the velocity field observed in the Si IV la
mbda 1402 line and the extrapolation of the magnetic held, we notice that e
ach UV bright point is consistent with emission from low-rising loops with
downflows at both ends. We notice some hard X-ray emissions above the brigh
t-point regions with temperatures up to 8 x 10(6) K, which suggests some in
duced reconnection due to continuous emergence of new flux. This reconnecti
on is also enhanced by neighboring subflares.
