Using observations by the Solar Dynamics Observatory from June 2010 to December 2017, we have performed the first statistical investigation of circular-ribbon flares (CFs) and examined the white-light emission in these CFs. We find 90 CFs…
In this paper, I will present the recent progress on circular-ribbon flares (CRFs) and their related activities, including coronal jets, filaments, CMEs, radio bursts, coronal dimmings, and coronal loop oscillations. Owing to the prevalence…
Violent solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are magnetic phenomena. However, how magnetic fields reconnecting in the flare differ from non-flaring magnetic fields remains unclear owing to the lack of studies of the flare magnetic…
Solar flare ribbons provide an important clue to the magnetic reconnection process and associated magnetic field topology in the solar corona. We detected a large-scale secondary flare ribbon of a circular shape that developed in…
In the standard model of solar eruptive events, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares are associated with each other through magnetic reconnection initiated by erupting flux ropes. Observations also reveal an increasing association ratio…
We present a database of 3137 solar flare ribbon events corresponding to every flare of GOES class C1.0 and greater within 45 degrees from the central meridian, from April 2010 until April 2016, observed by the \emph{Solar Dynamics…
In this paper we present a topological magnetic field investigation of seven two-ribbon flares in sigmoidal active regions observed with Hinode, STEREO, and SDO. We first derive the 3D coronal magnetic field structure of all regions using…
In an effort to examine the relationship between flare flux and corresponding CME mass, we temporally and spatially correlate all X-ray flares and CMEs in the LASCO and GOES archives from 1996 to 2006. We cross-reference 6,733 CMEs having…
A statistical study of the chromospheric ribbon evolution in H$\alpha$ two-ribbon flares is performed. The data set consists of 50 confined ($62\,\%$) and eruptive ($38\,\%$) flares that occurred from June 2000 to June 2015. The flares are…
To better understand the dynamical process of active-region filament eruptions and associated flares and CMEs, we carried out a statistical study of 120 events observed by BBSO, TRACE, and t(SOHO/EIT) from 1998 to 2007 and combined filament…
With the aim of understanding how the magnetic properties of active regions (ARs) control the eruptive character of solar flares, we analyze 719 flares of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) class $\geq$C5.0 during…
Emission of solar flares across the electromagnetic spectrum is often observed in the form of two expanding ribbons. The standard flare model explains the flare ribbons as footpoints of magnetic arcades, emitting due to interaction of…
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), especially the larger ones, emanate from active regions (ARs). With the aim to understand the magnetic properties that govern such flares and eruptions, we systematically survey all flare…
Flare ribbons serve as chromospheric footprints of energy deposition resulting from particle acceleration during magnetic reconnection. Their fine-scale structure provides a valuable tool for probing the dynamics of the flare reconnection…
Solar flare emissions in the chromosphere often appear as elongated ribbons on both sides of the magnetic polarity inversion line (PIL), which has been regarded as evidence of a typical configuration of magnetic reconnection. However,…
Coronal dimmings are transient depletions of coronal plasma observed in extreme ultraviolet and soft X-rays, interpreted as low-corona signatures of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Their evolution is closely linked to CME dynamics, flare…
We study the association of solar flares with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) during the deep, extended solar minimum of 2007-2009, using extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and white-light (coronagraph) images from the {\it Solar Terrestrial Relations…
We use data at 131, 171, and 304 A from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to search for hot flux ropes in 141 M-class and X-class solar flares that occurred at solar longitudes equal to or…
We report on the spatial relationship between solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed during 1996-2005 inclusive. We identified 496 flare-CME pairs considering limb flares (distance from central meridian > 45 deg) with soft…
Solar flare ribbons are intense brightenings of principally chromospheric material that are responsible for a large fraction of the chromospheric emission in solar and stellar flares. We present an on-disc observation of flare ribbon…
