Observations and modeling of the early acceleration phase of erupting filaments involved in coronal mass ejections

C. J. Schrijver, C. Elmore, B. Kliem +2

We examine the early phases of two near-limb filament destabilization involved in coronal mass ejections on 16 June and 27 July 2005, using high-resolution, high-cadence observatio…

Torus instability

B. Kliem, T. Toeroek

The expansion instability of a toroidal current ring in low-beta magnetized plasma is investigated. Qualitative agreement is obtained with experiments on spheromak expansion and wi…

Confined and ejective eruptions of kink-unstable flux ropes

T. Toeroek, B. Kliem

The ideal helical kink instability of a force-free coronal magnetic flux rope, anchored in the photosphere, is studied as a model for solar eruptions. Using the flux rope model of…

Eruption of a Kink-Unstable Filament in Active Region NOAA 10696

D. R. Williams, T. Toeroek, P. Demoulin +2

We present rapid-cadence Transition Region And Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observations which show evidence of a filament eruption from active region NOAA 10696, accompanied by an X2.…

Formation of current sheets and sigmoidal structure by the kink instability of a magnetic loop

B. Kliem, V. S. Titov, T. Toeroek

We study dynamical consequences of the kink instability of a twisted coronal flux rope, using the force-free coronal loop model by Titov & Démoulin (1999) as the initial condition…

Ideal kink instability of a magnetic loop equilibrium

T. Toeroek, B. Kliem, V. S. Titov

The force-free coronal loop model by Titov & Démoulin (1999} is found to be unstable with respect to the ideal kink mode, which suggests this instability as a mechanism for the ini…
