A solar eruptive event SOL2010-06-13 observed with SDO/AIA has been discussed in the contexts of the CME gebesis and an associated EUV transient in terms of a shock driven by the apparent CME rim. We have revealed in this event an erupting flux rope, studied its properties, and detected wave signatures inside the developing CME. These findings have allowed us to establish new features in the genesis of the CME and associated EUV wave and to reconcile all of the episodes into a causally-related sequence. (1) A hot 11 MK flux rope developed from a compact filament, accelerated up to 3 km/s$^2$ 1 min before a hard X-ray burst and earlier than other structures, reached 420 km/s, and decelerated to 50 km/s. (2) The CME development was driven by the flux rope. Closed structures above the rope got sequentially involved in the expansion from below upwards, came closer together, and disappeared to reveal their envelope, the rim, which became the outer boundary of the cavity. The rim was associated with the separatrix surface of a magnetic domain, which contained the pre-eruptive filament. (3) The rim formation was associated with a successive compression of the upper active-region structures into the CME frontal structure (FS). When the rim was formed, it resembled a piston. (4) The disturbance responsible for the CME formation was excited by the flux rope inside the rim, and then propagated outward. EUV structures at different heights started to accelerate, when their trajectories in the distance-time diagram were crossed by the front of this disturbance. (5) Outside the rim and FS, the disturbance propagated like a blast wave, manifesting in a type II radio burst and a leading part of the EUV transient. Its main, trailing part was the FS, which consisted of swept-up 2 MK loops enveloping the rim. The wave decelerated and decayed soon, being not driven by the trailing piston, which slowed down.

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and coronal jets are two types of common solar eruptive phenomena, which often independently happen at different spatial scales. In this work, we present a stereoscopic observation of a large-scale CME flux rope arising
from an unwinding blowout jet in a multipolar complex magnetic system. Based on a multi-band observational analysis, we find that this whole event starts with a small filament whose eruption occurs at a coronal geyser site after a series of homologous jets. Aided by magnetic field extrapolations, it reveals that the coronal geyser site forms above an elongate opposite-polarity interface, where the emergence-driven photospheric flux cancellation and repetitive reconnection are responsible for those preceding recurrent jets and also contribute to the ultimate filament destabilization. By interacting with overlying fields, the erupting filament breaks one of its legs and results in an unwinding blowout jet. Our estimation suggests that around 1.4$-$2.0 turns of twist release in its jet spire. This prominent twist transport in jet spire rapidly creates a newborn larger-scale flux rope from the jet base to a remote site. Soon after its formation, this large-scale flux rope erupts towards the outer coronae causing an Earth-directed CME. In its source region, two sets of distinct post-flare loops form in succession, indicating this eruption involves two-stage of flare magnetic reconnection. This work not only reveals a real magnetic coupling process between different eruptive activities but provides a new hint for understanding the creation of large-scale CME flux ropes during the solar eruption.
We present a detailed study of a confined circular flare dynamics associated with 3 UV late phases in order to understand more precisely which topological elements are present and how they constrain the dynamics of the flare. We perform a non-linear
force free field extrapolation of the confined flare observed with the HMI and AIA instruments onboard SDO. From the 3D magnetic field we compute the squashing factor and we analyse its distribution. Conjointly, we analyse the AIA EUV light curves and images in order to identify the post-flare loops, their temporal and thermal evolution. By combining both analysis we are able to propose a detailed scenario that explains the dynamics of the flare. Our topological analysis shows that in addition to a null-point topology with the fan separatrix, the spine lines and its surrounding Quasi-Separatix Layers halo (typical for a circular flare), a flux rope and its hyperbolic flux tube (HFT) are enclosed below the null. By comparing the magnetic field topology and the EUV post-flare loops we obtain an almost perfect match 1) between the footpoints of the separatrices and the EUV 1600~AA{} ribbons and 2) between the HFTs field line footpoints and bright spots observed inside the circular ribbons. We showed, for the first time in a confined flare, that magnetic reconnection occured initially at the HFT, below the flux rope. Reconnection at the null point between the flux rope and the overlying field is only initiated in a second phase. In addition, we showed that the EUV late phase observed after the main flare episode are caused by the cooling loops of different length which have all reconnected at the null point during the impulsive phase.
Force-free equilibria containing two vertically arranged magnetic flux ropes of like chirality and current direction are considered as a model for split filaments/prominences and filament-sigmoid systems. Such equilibria are constructed analytically
through an extension of the methods developed in Titov & Demoulin (1999) and numerically through an evolutionary sequence including shear flows, flux emergence, and flux cancellation in the photospheric boundary. It is demonstrated that the analytical equilibria are stable if an external toroidal (shear) field component exceeding a threshold value is included. If this component decreases sufficiently, then both flux ropes turn unstable for conditions typical of solar active regions, with the lower rope typically being unstable first. Either both flux ropes erupt upward, or only the upper rope erupts while the lower rope reconnects with the ambient flux low in the corona and is destroyed. However, for shear field strengths staying somewhat above the threshold value, the configuration also admits evolutions which lead to partial eruptions with only the upper flux rope becoming unstable and the lower one remaining in place. This can be triggered by a transfer of flux and current from the lower to the upper rope, as suggested by the observations of a split filament in Paper~I (Liu et al. 2012). It can also result from tether-cutting reconnection with the ambient flux at the X-type structure between the flux ropes, which similarly influences their stability properties in opposite ways. This is demonstrated for the numerically constructed equilibrium.
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 CMEs, a heated debate rages on whether the flux ropes pre-exist or wh
ether they are formed on-the-fly during the eruption. Here, we present a detailed analysis of Extreme Ultraviolet observations of the formation of a flux rope during a confined flare followed about seven hours later by the ejection of the flux rope and an eruptive flare. The two flares occurred during 18 and 19 July 2012. The second event unleashed a fast (> 1000 km/s) CME. We present the first direct evidence of a fast CME driven by the prior formation and destabilization of a coronal magnetic flux rope formed during the confined flare on 18 July.
Flux ropes are generally believed to be core structures of solar eruptions that are significant for the space weather, but their formation mechanism remains intensely debated. We report on the formation of a tiny flux rope beneath clusters of active
region loops on 2018 August 24. Combining the high-quality multiwavelength observations from multiple instruments, we studied the event in detail in the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. In the source region, the continual emergence of two positive polarities (P1 and P2) that appeared as two pores (A and B)is unambiguous. Interestingly, P2 and Pore B slowly approached P1 and Pore A, implying a magnetic flux convergence. During the emergence and convergence, P1 and P2 successively interacted with a minor negative polarity (N3) that emerged, which led to a continuous magnetic flux cancellation. As a result, the overlying loops became much sheared and finally evolved into a tiny twisted flux rope that was evidenced by a transient inverse S-shaped sigmoid, the twisted filament threads with blueshift and redshift signatures, and a hot channel. All the results show that the formation of the tiny flux rope in the center of the active region was closely associated with the continuous magnetic flux emergence, convergence, and cancellation in the photosphere. Hence, we suggest that the magnetic flux emergence, convergence, and cancellation are crucial for the formation of the tiny flux rope.
