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 …

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 …

Solar flares result from some electromagnetic instability that occurs within regions of
relatively strong magnetic field in the Sun's atmosphere. The processes that enable and …

Photospheric vector magnetic field data from the University of Hawai'i Imaging Vector
Magnetograph, with good spatial and temporal sampling, are used to study the question of …

Using a 1988–1997 data set of original photospheric vector magnetograms from the Solar
Magnetic Field Telescope (SMFT) of the Huairou Solar Observing Station of Beijing …

Flare occurrence is statistically associated with changes in several characteristics of the line-
of-sight magnetic field in solar active regions (ARs). We calculated magnetic measures …

In this study we use the ordinal logistic regression method to establish a prediction model,
which estimates the probability for each solar active region to produce X-, M-, or C-class …

The problem of (dc) magnetic field energy build up in the solar atmosphere is addressed.
Although large-scale current generation may be due to large-scale shearing motions in the …

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 …

ABSTRACT A model for solar flares is proposed in which the flare energy is the magnetic
energy released when two current-carrying flux loops reconnect to form two new current …
