Evolution of A Magnetic Flux Rope toward Eruption

Wensi Wang, Chunming Zhu, Jiong Qiu +3

It is well accepted that a magnetic flux rope (MFR) is a critical component of many coronal mass ejections (CMEs), yet how it evolves toward eruption remains unclear. Here we inves…

Modeling Inner Boundary Values at 18 Solar Radii During Solar Quiet time for Global Three-dimensional Time-Dependent Magnetohydrodynamic Numerical Simulation

Chin-Chun Wu, Kan Liou, Simon Plunkett +6

The solar wind speed plays a key role in the transport of CME out of the Sun and ultimately determines the arrival time of CME-driven shocks in the heliosphere. Here, we develop an…

Is the enhancement of type II radio bursts during CME interactions related to the associated solar energetic particle event?

Liu-Guan Ding, Zhi-Wei Wang, Li Feng +2

We investigated 64 pairs of interacting-CME events identified by the simultaneous observations of SOHO and STEREO spacecraft from 2010 January to 2014 August, to examine the relati…

Magnetic Flux Cancelation as the Buildup and Trigger Mechanism for CME-Producing Eruptions in two Small Active Regions

Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore, Navdeep K. Panesar

We follow two small, magnetically isolated CME-producing solar active regions (ARs) from the time of their emergence until several days later, when their core regions erupt to prod…

Critical magnetic field strengths for solar coronal plumes in quiet regions and coronal holes?

Ellis A. Avallone, Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Navdeep K. Panesar +2

Coronal plumes are bright magnetic funnels found in quiet regions (QRs) and coronal holes (CHs). They extend high into the solar corona and last from hours to days. The heating pro…

Onset of the magnetic explosion in solar polar coronal X-ray jets

Ronald L. Moore, Alphonse C. Sterling, Navdeep K. Panesar

We follow up on the Sterling et al (2015) discovery that nearly all polar coronal X-ray jets are made by an explosive eruption of closed magnetic field carrying a miniature filamen…
