The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in the Structure & Dynamics of Fast Coronal Mass Ejections

Brian T. Welsch, C. R. DeVore

Both observations and models of flare-associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) suggest that magnetic reconnection in an ejection's wake substantially increases the net, outward Lor…

Large Photospheric Doppler Shift in Solar Active Region 12673: I. Field-Aligned Flows

Jiayi Liu, Xudong Sun, Peter W. Schuck +3

Delta () sunspots sometimes host fast photospheric flows along the central magnetic polarity inversion line (PIL). Here we study the strong Doppler shift signature in the centra…

Changes of Magnetic Energy and Helicity in Solar Active Regions from Major Flares

Yang Liu, Brian T. Welsch, Gherardo Valori +5

Magnetic free energy powers solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and the buildup of magnetic helicity might play a role in the development of unstable structures that su…

Photospheric Imprints of Coronal Electric Currents, I. Magnetic Structure Near Polarity Inversion Lines

Brian T. Welsch, Peter W. Schuck, Mark G. Linton

Flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are powered by magnetic energy stored in coronal electric currents. Here, we use photospheric vector magnetic field observations to study c…

Reconstruction of photospheric velocity fields from highly corrupted data

Erico L. Rempel, Roman Chertovskih, Kamilla R. Davletshina +3

The analysis of the photospheric velocity field is essential for understanding plasma turbulence in the solar surface, which may be responsible for driving processes such as magnet…

Toward Improved Understanding of Magnetic Fields Participating in Solar Flares: Statistical Analysis of Magnetic Field within Flare Ribbons

Maria D. Kazachenko, Benjamin J. Lynch, Antonia Savcheva +2

Violent solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are magnetic phenomena. However, how magnetic fields reconnecting in the flare differ from non-flaring magnetic fields remain…
