The unpredictability of solar filament eruptions presents major challenges for forecasting space weather, as such eruptions frequently drive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that impact the heliosphere. While nearby flux emergence is often…

The flare ribbon and an associated filament eruption are diagnosed using O iv 1401.16 A, Si iv 1402.77 A, and Mg ii k 2796.35 A spectral lines provided by IRIS. The flare ribbons have downflow (redshifts) in all these lines, and this…
