A New Method of 3D Magnetic Field Reconstruction
R. B. Torbert, I. Dors, M. R. Argall +6
A method is described to model the magnetic field in the vicinity of constellations of multiple satellites using field and plasma current measurements. This quadratic model has the…

Catastrophe versus instability for the eruption of a toroidal solar magnetic flux rope
B. Kliem, J. Lin, T. G. Forbes +2
The onset of a solar eruption is formulated here as either a magnetic catastrophe or as an instability. Both start with the same equation of force balance governing the underlying…

Breakout and Tether-cutting Eruption Models Are Both Catastrophic (Sometimes)
D. W. Longcope, T. G. Forbes
We present a simplified analytic model of a quadrupolar magnetic field and flux rope to model coronal mass ejections. The model magnetic field is two-dimensional, force-free and ha…
