Applying the weighted horizontal magnetic gradient method to a simulated flaring Active Region

M. B. Korsos, Piyali Chatterjee, R. Erdelyi

Here, we test the weighted horizontal magnetic gradient ($W{G}_M$) as a flare precursor, introduced by Korsos et. al. (2015, ApJ, 802, L21), by applying it to a magneto-hydrodynamic…
