Abstract Hα observations of two-ribbon flares often show secondary brightenings which are not directly spatially connected with the main center of activity but which are correlated in time with the primary impulsive flare. We present here a mechanism which explains these secondary brightenings via the reconnection of magnetic loops which are tied to only one of the two ribbons, in contrast with the loops responsible for the main flare which are tied to both ribbons. The distant footpoint is then interpreted as the site of the secondary brightening. We apply our model to the two-ribbon flare of 17:52 UT, 23 June, 1988, which started during the rocket flight of the Normal Incidence X-ray Telescope.
