On June 17, 2012, we observed the evolution of a C-class flare associated with the eruption of a filament near a large sunspot in the active region NOAA 11504. We obtained high spatial resolution filtergrams using the 1.6 m New Solar…
We use high-resolution images of the sun obtained by the SDO/AIA instrument to study the evolution of the coronal loops in a flaring solar active region. During 15 February 2011 a X-2.2 class flare occurred in NOAA 11158, a…
Using time-sequence vector magnetic field and coronal observations from \textit{Solar Dynamics Observatory}, we report the observations of the magnetic field evolution and coronal activity in four emerging active regions (ARs). The ARs…
In this study, we present the investigation of eleven recurring solar jets originated from two different sites (site 1 and site 2) close to each other (~ 11 Mm) in the NOAA active region (AR) 12035 during 15--16 April 2014. The jets were…
We present the study of three homologous solar eruptions from NOAA active region (AR) 11429 over four days. This large and complex AR divided into two relatively simple sub-regions: northeast (NE) and southwest (SW). Recurrent eruptions…
In this ISSI-supported series of studies on magnetic helicity in the Sun, we systematically implement different magnetic helicity calculation methods on high-quality solar magnetogram observations. We apply finite-volume, discrete flux tube…
Context. In September 2017 the largest X-class flare of Solar Cycle 24 occurred from the most active region (AR) of this cycle, AR 12673. The AR attracted much interest because of its unique morphological and evolution characteristics.…
The aim of this paper is to look at the magnetic helicity structure of an emerging active region and show that both emergence and flaring signatures are consistent with a same sign for magnetic helicity. We present a multi-wavelength…
The evolution of magnetic helicity has a close relationship with solar eruptions and is of interest as a predictive diagnostic. In this case study, we analyse the evolution of the normalised emergence, shearing and total magnetic helicity…
We analyse the spatial distribution of current helicity in solar active regions. A comparison of current helicity maps derived from three different instruments (Helioseismic and Magnetc Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory,…
Solar flares occur due to the sudden release of energy stored in active-region magnetic fields. To date, the pre-cursors to flaring are still not fully understood, although there is evidence that flaring is related to changes in the…
To better understand a preferred magnetic field configuration and its evolution during Coronal Mass Ejection events, we investigated the spatial and temporal evolution of photospheric magnetic fields in the active region NOAA 9236 that…
The dynamics of magnetic fields in the Sun's active regions plays a key role in triggering solar eruptions. Studies have shown that changes in the photosphere's magnetic field can destabilize large-scale structure of the corona, leading to…
The dynamics of active region (AR) 12673 is qualitatively studied using observational data obtained with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager of the Solar Dynamics Observatory on August 31--September 8, 2017. This AR was remarkable for its…
In May 2024, the Sun exhibited intense magnetic activity, marked by numerous high-intensity flares resulting from the interaction and merging of NOAA ARs 13664 and 13668 in the southern hemisphere and AR 13663 in the northern hemisphere.…
The hemispheric pattern of solar filaments is considered in the context of the global magnetic field of the solar corona. In recent work Mackay and van Ballegooijen have shown how, for a pair of interacting magnetic bipoles, the observed…
