The origin, early evolution and predictability of solar eruptions

LM Green, T Török, B Vršnak, W Manchester IV… - Space Science …, 2018‏ - Springer
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were discovered in the early 1970s when space-borne
coronagraphs revealed that eruptions of plasma are ejected from the Sun. Today, it is known …

On the magnetic flux budget in low-corona magnetic reconnection and interplanetary coronal mass ejections

J Qiu, Q Hu, TA Howard… - The Astrophysical …, 2007‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first quantitative comparison between the total magnetic reconnection flux in
the low corona in the wake of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the magnetic flux in …

A new model-independent method to compute magnetic helicity in magnetic clouds

S Dasso, CH Mandrini, P Démoulin… - Astronomy & …, 2006‏ - aanda.org
Context. Magnetic clouds are transient magnetic structures expulsed from the Sun that travel
toward the external heliosphere carrying a significant amount of magnetic flux and helicity …

The magnetic field in the solar atmosphere

T Wiegelmann, JK Thalmann, SK Solanki - The Astronomy and …, 2014‏ - Springer
This publication provides an overview of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere with the
focus lying on the corona. The solar magnetic field couples the solar interior with the visible …

Photospheric flux cancellation and associated flux rope formation and eruption

LM Green, B Kliem, AJ Wallace - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011‏ - aanda.org
Aims. We study an evolving bipolar active region that exhibits flux cancellation at the internal
polarity inversion line, the formation of a soft X-ray sigmoid along the inversion line and a …

Multispacecraft observation of magnetic cloud erosion by magnetic reconnection during propagation

A Ruffenach, B Lavraud, MJ Owens… - Journal of …, 2012‏ - Wiley Online Library
During propagation, Magnetic Clouds (MC) interact with their environment and, in particular,
may reconnect with the solar wind around it, eroding away part of its initial magnetic flux …

A comparative study between eruptive X-class flares associated with coronal mass ejections and confined X-class flares

Y Wang, J Zhang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the two kinds of major energetic phenomena that occur in the solar
atmosphere: eruptive and confined events. The former describes flares with associated …

[HTML][HTML] Large-scale globally propagating coronal waves

A Warmuth - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2015‏ - Springer
Large-scale, globally propagating wave-like disturbances have been observed in the solar
chromosphere and by inference in the corona since the 1960s. However, detailed analysis …

Forecasting the structure and orientation of earthbound coronal mass ejections
