Reconnectionless CME eruption: putting the Aly-Sturrock conjecture to rest
L. A. Rachmeler, C. E. DeForest, C. C. Kankelborg
We demonstrate that magnetic reconnection is not necessary to initiate fast CMEs. The Aly-Sturrock conjecture states that the magnetic energy of a given force free boundary field i…
Solar Magnetic Tracking. I. Software Comparison and Recommended Practices
C. E. DeForest, H. J. Hagenaar, D. A. Lamb +2
Feature tracking and recognition are increasingly common tools for data analysis, but are typically implemented on an ad-hoc basis by individual research groups, limiting the usefu…
Are "EIT Waves" Fast-Mode MHD Waves?
M. J. Wills-Davey, C. E. DeForest, J. O. Stenflo
We examine the nature of large-scale, coronal, propagating wave fronts (``EIT waves'') and find they are incongruous with solutions using fast-mode MHD plane-wave theory. Specifica…
On the Size of Structures in the Solar Corona
C. E. DeForest
Fine-scale structure in the corona appears not to be well resolved by current imaging instruments. Assuming this to be true offers a simple geometric explanation for several curren…
