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 …

Magnetic fields play a fundamental role in the structure and dynamics of the solar corona. As
they are driven by their footpoint motions on the solar surface, which transport energy from …

Solar eruptions are spectacular magnetic explosions in the Sun's corona, and how they are
initiated remains unclear. Prevailing theories often rely on special magnetic topologies that …

The total solar eclipse that occurred on 21 August 2017 across the United States provided
an opportunity to test a magnetohydrodynamic model of the solar corona driven by …

Solar eruptions are the main driver of space-weather disturbances at Earth. Extreme events
are of particular interest, not only because of the scientific challenges they pose, but also …

Magnetic flux ropes are characterized by coherently twisted magnetic field lines, which are
ubiquitous in magnetized plasmas. As the core structure of various eruptive phenomena in …

Solar eruptive activities could occur in weak magnetic field environments and over large
spatial scales, which are especially relevant to eruptions involving intermediate or quiescent …

A clear understanding of the nature of the pre-eruptive magnetic field configurations of
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) is required for understanding and eventually predicting …

On 2017 September 6, the solar active region 12673 produced an X9. 3 flare, regarded to be
the largest to have occurred in solar cycle 24. In this work we have performed a …

Context. The Solar Orbiter spacecraft will be equipped with a wide range of remote-sensing
(RS) and in situ (IS) instruments to record novel and unprecedented measurements of the …
