Solar prominences: observations

S Parenti - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2014‏ - Springer
Solar prominences are one of the most common features of the solar atmosphere. They are
found in the corona but they are one hundred times cooler and denser than the coronal …

Flare-productive active regions

S Toriumi, H Wang - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019‏ - Springer
Strong solar flares and coronal mass ejections, here defined not only as the bursts of
electromagnetic radiation but as the entire process in which magnetic energy is released …

Formation of torus-unstable flux ropes and electric currents in erupting sigmoids

G Aulanier, T Török, P Démoulin… - The Astrophysical …, 2009‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the physical mechanisms that form a three-dimensional coronal flux rope and
later cause its eruption. This is achieved by a zero-β magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

Structure, stability, and evolution of magnetic flux ropes from the perspective of magnetic twist

R Liu, B Kliem, VS Titov, J Chen, Y Wang… - The Astrophysical …, 2016‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the evolution of NOAA Active Region (AR) 11817 during 2013 August 10–12,
when it developed a complex field configuration and produced four confined, followed by …

The physical processes of CME/ICME evolution

W Manchester, EKJ Kilpua, YD Liu, N Lugaz… - Space Science …, 2017‏ - Springer
As observed in Thomson-scattered white light, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are manifest
as large-scale expulsions of plasma magnetically driven from the corona in the most …

Earth-affecting solar transients: a review of progresses in solar cycle 24

J Zhang, M Temmer, N Gopalswamy… - Progress in Earth and …, 2021‏ - Springer
This review article summarizes the advancement in the studies of Earth-affecting solar
transients in the last decade that encompasses most of solar cycle 24. It is a part of the effort …

Solar prominences: theory and models: Fleshing out the magnetic skeleton

SE Gibson - Living reviews in solar physics, 2018‏ - Springer
Magnetic fields suspend the relatively cool material of solar prominences in an otherwise hot
corona. A comprehensive understanding of solar prominences ultimately requires complex …

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 …

Origin and structures of solar eruptions I: magnetic flux rope

X Cheng, Y Guo, MD Ding - Science China Earth Sciences, 2017‏ - Springer
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares are the large-scale and most energetic
eruptive phenomena in our solar system and able to release a large quantity of plasma and …

From coronal observations to MHD simulations, the building blocks for 3D models of solar flares (invited review)

M Janvier, G Aulanier, P Démoulin - Solar Physics, 2015‏ - Springer
Solar flares are energetic events taking place in the Sun's atmosphere, and their effects can
greatly impact the environment of the surrounding planets. In particular, eruptive flares, as …
