We analyze high-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of a flux emerging region (FER) in order to understand its magnetic and kinematic structure. Our spectropolarimetric observations in the He I 1083.0 nm spectral region of a FER are…

Context. Solar filament eruptions usually appear to occur in association with the sudden explosive release of magnetic energy accumulated in long-lived arched magnetic structures. It is the released energy that occasionally drives…
