Investigating Two Successive Flux Rope Eruptions In A Solar Active Region
X. Cheng, J. Zhang, M. D. Ding +4
We investigate two successive flux rope (FR1 and FR2) eruptions resulting in two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on 2012 January 23. Both FRs appeared as an EUV channel structure in…
The Driver of Coronal Mass Ejections in the Low Corona: A Flux Rope
X. Cheng, J. Zhang, D. M. Ding +2
Recent Solar Dynamic Observatory observations reveal that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) consist of a multi-temperature structure: a hot flux rope and a cool leading front (LF). The…
Multi-point shock and flux rope analysis of multiple interplanetary coronal mass ejections around 2010 August 1 in the inner heliosphere
C. Möstl, C. J. Farrugia, E. K. J. Kilpua +20
We present multi-point in situ observations of a complex sequence of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which may serve as a benchmark event for numerical and empirical space weather pr…
Observing Flux Rope Formation During the Impulsive Phase of a Solar Eruption
X. Cheng, J. Zhang, Y. Liu +1
Magnetic flux rope is believed to be an important structural component of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). While there exist much observational evidence of the flux rope after the er…
