It is believed that such changes are related to the reconfig uration of magnetic field lines\, however\, the real origin is still uncle ar. I will present the analysis of 37 flares observed by the Solar Dynamic s Observatory (SDO). The characteristics of the magnetic field changes in the flare events are determined using HMI high-cadence vector magnetogram (135 s)\, whereas the ribbon properties are derived from co-aligned AIA 16 00 Å images. We find that pixels swept up by ribbons do not always exhibi t permanent changes in the field. However\, when they do\, ribbon emission typically occurs several minutes before the start of field changes. The c hanges in the properties of the field show no relation to the size of acti ve regions but are strongly related to the flare-ribbon properties. We fin d that the duration of permanent changes in the field is strongly coupled with the duration of the flare. Our results suggest that changes in photos pheric magnetic fields are caused by a combination of two scenarios: contr action of flare loops driven by magnetic reconnection and coronal implosio n.\n\nhttps://meetings.aip.de/event/24/contributions/315/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/24/contributions/315/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
