How filaments form and erupt are topics about which solar researchers have wondered since more than a century and that are still open to debate. We present observations of a filament formation, its failed eruption, and the associated flare…

Observations reveal that strong solar flares and coronal mass ejections tend to occur in complex active regions characterized by delta-sunspots, spot rotation, sheared polarity inversion lines (PILs), and magnetic flux ropes. Here we report…
