Flare-CME Events Associated With a Superactive Region
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
In a few recent studies, 8 coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were identified to associate with a superactive region, AR 8100. They were all flare-CME events, It is found that the region is characterized by vigorous flux emergence and an imbalance of magnetic flux in two polarities. With the continuous flux emergence and its driven flux cancellation, the EUV dimming associated with flare activity increased in area. Whenever the dimming extended to an area of more than 50×50 square degrees on the solar surface, a flare in the region became CME-associated.
