The origin, early evolution and predictability of solar eruptions

LM Green, T Török, B Vršnak, W Manchester… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were discovered in the early 1970s when space-borne
coronagraphs revealed that eruptions of plasma are ejected from the Sun. Today, it is known …

Solar prominences: theory and models: Fleshing out the magnetic skeleton

SE Gibson - Living reviews in solar physics, 2018 - Springer
Magnetic fields suspend the relatively cool material of solar prominences in an otherwise hot
corona. A comprehensive understanding of solar prominences ultimately requires complex …

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale expulsions of coronal plasma and magnetic
field propagating through the heliosphere. Because CMEs are observed by white-light …

Time-dependent data-driven modeling of active region evolution using energy-optimized photospheric electric fields

J Pomoell, E Lumme, E Kilpua - Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
In this work, we present results of a time-dependent data-driven numerical simulation
developed to study the dynamics of coronal active region magnetic fields. The evolving …

Radio observations of coronal mass ejection initiation and development in the low solar corona

EP Carley, N Vilmer, A Vourlidas - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large eruptions of plasma and magnetic field from the
low solar corona into the heliosphere. These eruptions are often associated with energetic …

Multipoint observations of the June 2012 interacting interplanetary flux ropes

EKJ Kilpua, SW Good, E Palmerio… - Frontiers in Astronomy …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
