Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are eruptive events that cause a solar-type star to shed mass and magnetic flux. CMEs tend to occur together with flares, radio storms, and bursts of energetic particles. On the Sun, CME-related mass loss is…

We propose a new model for the initiation of a solar coronal mass ejection (CME). The model agrees with two properties of CMEs and eruptive flares that have proved to be very difficult to explain with previous models. a) Very low-lying…

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are explosive plasma phenomena prevalently occurring on the Sun and probably on other magnetically active stars. However, how their pre-eruptive configuration evolves toward the main explosion remains elusive.…

We report the results of the first state-of-the-art numerical simulations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) taking place in realistic magnetic field configurations of moderately active M-dwarf stars. Our analysis indicates that a clear,…

(Abridged) We propose that giant flares on Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters produce relativistic, strongly magnetized, weakly baryon loaded magnetic clouds, somewhat analogous to solar coronal mass ejection (CME) events. Flares are driven by…
