Observations of the Sun's off-limb white-light (WL) flares offer rareopportunities to study the energy release and transport mechanisms in flareloops. One of the best such events was SOL2017-09-10, an X8.2 flare thatoccurred near the Sun's west limb on 2017 September 10 and produced a WL loopsystem lasting more than 60 minutes and reaching an altitude higher than 30 Mm.The event was well observed by a suite of ground- and space-based instruments,including the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager(SDO/HMI) that captured its off-limb loops in WL continuum near Fe I 6173 A,and the Atmospheric Imager Assembly (SDO/AIA) that observed its ultraviolet(UV) and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) counterparts. We found quasi-periodicpulsations in the WL and UV emissions at the flare loop-top with a periodaround 8.0 min. Each pulsation appears to have an EUV counterpart that occursearlier in time and higher in altitude. Despite many similarities in the WL andUV images and light curves, the WL flux at the loop-top continues to grow forabout 16 minutes while the UV fluxes gradually decay. We discuss theimplication of these unprecedented observations on the understanding of theenigmatic off-limb WL flare emission mechanisms.
