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 …

Flare-CME models: an observational perspective (invited review)

B Schmieder, G Aulanier, B Vršnak - Solar physics, 2015 - Springer
Eruptions, flares, and coronal mass ejection (CMEs) are due to physical phenomena mainly
driven by an initially force-free current-carrying magnetic field. We review some key …

How many CMEs have flux ropes? Deciphering the signatures of shocks, flux ropes, and prominences in coronagraph observations of CMEs

A Vourlidas, BJ Lynch, RA Howard, Y Li - Solar Physics, 2013 - Springer
We intend to provide a comprehensive answer to the question on whether all Coronal Mass
Ejections (CMEs) have flux rope structure. To achieve this, we present a synthesis of the …

Direct evidence for a fast coronal mass ejection driven by the prior formation and subsequent destabilization of a magnetic flux rope

Magnetic flux ropes in the solar corona: structure and evolution toward eruption

R Liu - Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetic flux ropes are characterized by coherently twisted magnetic field lines, which are
ubiquitous in magnetized plasmas. As the core structure of various eruptive phenomena in …
