Solar phenomena (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flares

(Other definitions for flares that I've seen before include "Sudden brief bursts of bright light" , "Bell-bottom trousers" , "Distress lights" , "Trousers with legs widening at the bottom" , "Devices producing bright lights as signal" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
