We report the evolution of magnetic field and its energy in NOAA active region 11158 over 5 days based on a vector magnetogram series from Helioseismic Magnetic Imager (HMI) board Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO). Fast flux emergence strong shearing motion led to quadrupolar sunspot complex that produced several major eruptions, including first X-class flare Cycle 24. Extrapolated non-linear force-free coronal fields show substantial electric current free increase during early near low-lying...

Solar active region (AR) 12192 of 2014 October hosts the largest sunspot group in 24 years. It is most prolific flaring site Cycle so far, but surprisingly produced no coronal mass ejection (CME) from core during its disk passage. Here, we study magnetic conditions that prevented eruption and consequences ensued. We find AR to be "big mild"; exhibits weaker non-potentiality, stronger overlying field, smaller flare-related field changes compared two other major flare-CME-productive ARs (11429...

The heliospheric magnetic field is of pivotal importance in solar and space physics. rooted the Sun's photosphere, where it has been observed for many years. Global maps based on full disk magnetograms are commonly used as boundary conditions coronal wind models. Two primary observational constraints models (1) open regions model should approximately correspond to holes emission, (2) magnitude flux match that inferred from situ spacecraft measurements. In this study, we calculate both MHD...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) was launched 11 February 2010 with 3 instruments on board, including the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI).

It is well known that the long-term evolution of photospheric magnetic field plays an important role in building up free energy to power solar eruptions. Observations, despite being controversial, have also revealed a rapid and permanent variation response coronal restructuring during eruption. The Helioseismic Magnetic Imager instrument (HMI) on board newly launched Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) produces seeing-free full-disk vector magnetograms at consistently high resolution cadence,...

The fan-spine magnetic topology is believed to be responsible for many curious features in solar explosive events. A spine field line links distinct flux domains, but direct observation of such a feature has been rare. Here we report unique event observed by the Solar Dynamic Observatory where set hot coronal loops (over 10 MK) connected quasi-circular chromospheric ribbon at one end and remote brightening other. Magnetic extrapolation suggests that these are partly tracers evolving line....

Abstract Magnetic free energy powers solar flares and coronal mass ejections, the buildup of magnetic helicity might play a role in development unstable structures that subsequently erupt. To better understand roles large eruptions, we have characterized evolution associated with 21 X-class from 2010 to 2017. Our sample includes both confined eruptive events, 6 15 each category, respectively. Using Helioseismic Imager vector field observations several hours before after event, employ (a)...

This paper investigates the solar origin of impulsive energetic particle (SEP) events, often referred to as 3He-rich flares, by attempting locate source regions 117 events observed at ~2-3 MeV amu-1. Given large uncertainties when ions these energies were injected, we use type III radio bursts that occur within a 5 hr time window preceding ion onset, and search in EUV X-ray full-disk images for brightenings around times bursts. In this way find sources 69 events. High cadence reveal jet...

As each solar cycle progresses, remnant magnetic flux from active regions (ARs) migrates poleward to cancel the old-cycle polar field. We describe this polarity reversal process during Cycle 24 using four years (2010.33–2014.33) of line-of-sight field measurements Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager. The total associated with ARs reached maximum in north 2011, more than two earlier south; is significantly weaker 23. relatively slow, north–south asymmetric, episodic. estimate that global axial...

Abstract It has been suggested that the ratio of photospheric direct to return current, ∣DC/RC∣, may be a better proxy for assessing ability solar active regions produce coronal mass ejection (CME) than others such as amount shear along polarity inversion line (PIL). To test this conjecture, we measure both quantities prior eruptive and confined flares varying magnitude. We find eruptive-flare source have ∣DC/RC∣ > 1.63 PIL above 45° (average values 3.2 68°, respectively), tending larger...
