Initiation of coronal mass ejections by sunspot rotation

T Török, M Temmer, G Valori, AM Veronig… - Solar physics, 2013 - Springer
We study a filament eruption, two-ribbon flare, and coronal mass ejection (CME) that
occurred in NOAA Active Region 10898 on 6 July 2006. The filament was located South of a …

Evolution of a magnetic flux rope toward eruption

W Wang, C Zhu, J Qiu, R Liu, KE Yang… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
It is well accepted that a magnetic flux rope (MFR) is a critical component of many coronal
mass ejections (CMEs), yet how it evolves toward eruption remains unclear. Here we …

Flare differentially rotates sunspot on Sun's surface

C Liu, Y Xu, W Cao, N Deng, J Lee, HS Hudson… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Sunspots are concentrations of magnetic field visible on the solar surface (photosphere). It
was considered implausible that solar flares, as resulted from magnetic reconnection in the …

A semi-automatic method to measure the rotation of sunspots

D Brown, A Walker - Solar Physics, 2021 - Springer
Sunspots have been observed to undergo rotation about their umbral centre. This is typically
a slow rotation, with even the fastest sunspot rotations only reaching angular velocities of a …

Sunspot rotation and the M-class flare in solar active region NOAA 11158

A Li, Y Liu - Solar Physics, 2015 - Springer
We measure the rotation of a sunspot in solar active region NOAA 11158 (Solar Target
Identifier SOL2011-02-15) that was associated with an M-class flare. The flare occurred …

The Effects of Oscillations and Collisions of Emerging Bipolar Regions on the Triggering of Solar Flares

C Boocock, K Kusano, D Tsiklauri - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The ability to predict the occurrence of solar flares in advance is important to humankind due
to the potential damage they can cause to Earth's environment and infrastructure. It has …

The impact of sunspot rotation on solar flares

AP Walker - 2018 - clok.uclan.ac.uk
Solar flares are one mechanism to release stored magnetic energy in the Sun's atmosphere.
This thesis aims to determine whether sunspot rotation can inject the energy required for …

The coalescence of two rotating sunspots during the emergence of an active region

VM Grigor'ev, LV Ermakova, AI Khlystova - Astronomy Reports, 2013 - Springer
The rare phenomenon of the coalescence of two rotating sunspots of the same magnetic
polarity during the emergence of the active region NOAA 11117 is investigated using data …

Слияние двух вращающихся пятен в процессе возникновения активной области

ВМ Григорьев, ЛВ Ермакова, АИ Хлыстова - Астрономический журнал, 2013 - elibrary.ru
По материалам космической обсерватории SDO исследовано редкое явление слияния
двух вращающихся солнечных пятен одной полярности магнитного поля в процессе …

Converging photospheric vortex flows close to the polarity inversion line of a fully emerged active region

JC Santos, CM Wrasse - Annales Geophysicae, 2019 - angeo.copernicus.org
We report on the occurrence of vortexes in flow fields obtained from the evolution of the line-
of-sight component of the photospheric magnetic field in a region around the polarity …
