The eruption of a small-scale emerging flux rope as the driver of an M-class flare and of a coronal mass ejection

XL Yan, CW Jiang, ZK Xue, JC Wang… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are the most powerful explosions in the Sun. They
are major sources of potentially destructive space weather conditions. However, the …

Observational analysis on the early evolution of a CME flux rope: preflare reconnection and flux rope's footpoint drift

H Chen, J Yang, K Ji, Y Duan - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the early evolution of a hot-channel-like magnetic flux rope (MFR) toward eruption.
Combining with imaging observation and magnetic field extrapolation, we find that the hot …
