A filament, a dense cool plasma supported by the magnetic fields in the solar corona, often becomes unstable and erupts. It is empirically known that the filament often demonstrates some activations such as a turbulent motion prior to…

We study a sequence of eruptive events including filament eruption, a GOES C4.3 flare and a coronal mass ejection. We aim to identify the possible trigger(s) and precursor(s) of the filament destabilisation; investigate flare kernel…

We studied the background field for 60 two-ribbon flares of M-and-above classes during 2011--2015. These flares are categorized into two groups, i.e., \emph{eruptive} and \emph{confined} flares, based on whether a flare is associated with a…
