observed by NVST and SDO/AIA on 2014 March 17. The filament was located at one
footpoint region of a large loops. The potential field extrapolation shows that it was
embedded under a magnetic null point configuration. First, we observed a brightening of the
filament at the corresponding EUV images, close to one end of the filament. With time
evolution, a circular flare ribbon was observed around the filament at the onset of the …
