Description
Since 2023, the IRIS mission has run a very high cadence flare observing programme, enabling sub-second timescales to be observed in sit-and-stare mode. This poster will report on initial timing analysis of flare radiation, focussing on very prompt signatures of flare energy input. These include electron density and ionisation changes, and fluorescent emission in the mid-to-low chromosphere. The implications of these for understanding of flare energy transport will also be discussed.
