In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

Strong solar flares and coronal mass ejections, here defined not only as the bursts of
electromagnetic radiation but as the entire process in which magnetic energy is released …

Context. The standard CSHKP model for eruptive flares is two-dimensional. Yet
observational interpretations of photospheric currents in pre-eruptive sigmoids, shear in post …

We present for the first time the evolution of the photospheric electric currents during an
eruptive X-class flare, accurately predicted by the standard three-dimensional (3D) flare …

This publication provides an overview of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere with the
focus lying on the corona. The solar magnetic field couples the solar interior with the visible …

Solar flares are energetic events taking place in the Sun's atmosphere, and their effects can
greatly impact the environment of the surrounding planets. In particular, eruptive flares, as …

Solar filament eruptions play a crucial role in triggering coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
More than 80% of eruptions lead to a CME. This correlation has been studied extensively …

ABSTRACT The 2011 February 15 X2. 2 flare and associated Earth-directed halo coronal
mass ejection were observed in unprecedented detail with high resolution in spatial …

We present SDO/AIA observations of an eruptive X-class flare of 2012 July 12, and compare
its evolution with the predictions of a three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation. We focus …

In this paper we present a topological magnetic field investigation of seven two-ribbon flares
in sigmoidal active regions observed with Hinode, STEREO, and Solar Dynamics …
