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 …

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

We present a statistical analysis of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) based on 23 years
of quasi-continuous observations with the LASCO coronagraph, thus covering two complete …

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 …

Solar and stellar flares are the most intense emitters of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet
radiation in planetary systems,. On the Sun, strong flares are usually found in newly …

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 …

The violent disruption of the coronal magnetic field is often observed to be restricted to the
low corona, appearing as a confined eruption. The possible causes of the confinement …

We perform and analyze the results of a global magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the fast
coronal mass ejection (CME) that occurred on 2011 March 7. The simulation is made using …

Coronal mass ejections are explosive plasma phenomena prevalently occurring on the Sun
and probably on other magnetically active stars. However, how their pre-eruptive …

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 …
