An automated detection method applied to simulated flare ribbon data identifies fine structures whose motions and flux distribution are consistent with plasmoid-mediated reconnection.

Compact C-class solar flares with U-shaped or fan-spine magnetic structures produce white-light emission at rates near 100%, while flux-emergence types do so at only 33% and no B-class compact flares showed it.
Confined flares exhibit total Lorentz force change below 1.8 × 10^22 dyne along the PIL, separating them from eruptive flares in a sample of 37 major events observed 2011-2017.
Pre-flare IRIS observations of an X9 flare reveal 7-21 minute oscillations and rising Si IV velocities consistent with slow coronal magnetic destabilization before rapid reconnection.

Photospheric Lorentz force changes in eruptive and confined solar flares
Confined flares exhibit total Lorentz force change below 1.8 × 10^22 dyne along the PIL, separating them from eruptive flares in a sample of 37 major events observed 2011-2017.
