Solar eruptive phenomena embrace a variety of eruptions, including flares, solar energetic
particles, and radio bursts. Since the vast majority of these are associated with the eruption …

This review article summarizes the advancement in the studies of Earth-affecting solar
transients in the last decade that encompasses most of solar cycle 24. It is a part of the effort …

The graduated cylindrical shell (GCS) model developed by Thernisien et al. has been used
with the goal of studying the three-dimensional morphology, position, and kinematics of …

The Sun, as an active star, is the driver of energetic phenomena that structure interplanetary
space and affect planetary atmospheres. The effects of Space Weather on Earth and the …

Magnetic fields suspend the relatively cool material of solar prominences in an otherwise hot
corona. A comprehensive understanding of solar prominences ultimately requires complex …

Magnetic flux ropes play a central role in the physics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Although a flux-rope topology is inferred for the majority of coronagraphic observations of …

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares are the large-scale and most energetic
eruptive phenomena in our solar system and able to release a large quantity of plasma and …

Large-scale, globally propagating wave-like disturbances have been observed in the solar
chromosphere and by inference in the corona since the 1960s. However, detailed analysis …

A major, albeit serendipitous, discovery of the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory mission
was the observation by the Extreme Ultraviolet Telescope (EIT) of large-scale extreme …

One of the grand challenges in heliophysics is the characterization of coronal mass ejection
(CME) magnetic structure and evolution from eruption at the Sun through heliospheric …
