In our earlier study of this series (Park et al. 2020, Paper I), we examined the hemispheric sign preference (HSP) of magnetic helicity flux $dH/dt$ across photospheric surfaces of 4802 samples of 1105 unique active regions (ARs) observed during solar cycle 24. Here, we investigate any association of the HSP, expressed as a degree of compliance, with flaring activity, analyzing the same set of $dH/dt$ estimates as used in Paper I. The AR samples under investigation are assigned to heliographic regions (HRs) defined in the Carrington longitude-latitude plane with a grid spacing of 45$^circ$ in longitude and 15$^circ$ in latitude. For AR samples in each of the defined HRs, we calculate the degree of HSP compliance and the average soft X-ray flare index. The strongest flaring activity is found to be in one distinctive HR with an extremely low HSP compliance of 41% as compared to the mean and standard deviation of 62% and 7%, respectively, over all HRs. This sole HR shows an anti-HSP (i.e., less than 50%) and includes the highly flare-productive AR NOAA 12673, however this AR is not uniquely responsible for the HRs low HSP. We also find that all HRs with the highest flaring activity are located in the southern hemisphere, and they tend to have lower degrees of HSP compliance. These findings point to the presence of localized regions of the convection zone with enhanced turbulence, imparting a greater magnetic complexity and a higher flaring rate to some rising magnetic flux tubes.
A hemispheric preference in the dominant sign of magnetic helicity has been observed in numerous features in the solar atmosphere: i.e., left-handed/right-handed helicity in the northern/southern hemisphere. The relative importance of different physi
In this article, we report an evidence of very high and statistically significant relationship between hemispheric asymmetry in solar coronal rotation rate and solar activity. Our approach is based on cross correlation of hemispheric asymmetry index
We propose a novel approach to reconstruct the surface magnetic helicity density on the Sun or sun-like stars. The magnetic vector potential is determined via decomposition of vector magnetic field measurements into toroidal and poloidal components.
We investigate two successive flux rope (FR1 and FR2) eruptions resulting in two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on 2012 January 23. Both FRs appeared as an EUV channel structure in the images of high temperature passbands of the Atmospheric Imaging As
We study the solar wind helium-to-hydrogen abundances ($A_mathrm{He}$) relationship to solar cycle onset. Using OMNI/Lo data, we show that $A_mathrm{He}$ increases prior to sunspot number (SSN) minima. We also identify a rapid depletion and recovery
