Investigating the Efficacy of Topologically Derived Time Series for Flare Forecasting. II. XGBoost Model
Thomas Williams, Christopher B. Prior, David MacTaggart +1
Solar flares are a primary driver of space weather, and forecasting their occurrence remains a significant challenge. This paper presents a novel flare prediction model based on to…
On field line slippage rates in the solar corona
David MacTaggart
Magnetic reconnection is one of the fundamental dynamical processes in the solar corona. The method of studying reconnection in active region-scale magnetic fields generally depend…
Investigating the Efficacy of Topologically Derived Time-Series for Flare Forecasting. I. Dataset Preparation
Thomas Williams, Christopher B. Prior, David MacTaggart
The accurate forecasting of solar flares is considered a key goal within the solar physics and space weather communities. There is significant potential for flare prediction to be…
Photospheric signatures of CME onset
Aslam Ottupara, David MacTaggart, Tom Williams +2
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are solar eruptions that involve large-scale changes to the magnetic topology of an active region. There exists a range of models for CME onset which…
