We report on a technique to construct a flux rope (FR) from eruption data at the Sun. The technique involves line-of-sight magnetic fields, post-eruption arcades in the corona, and white-light coronal mass ejections (CMEs) so that the FR geometric and magnetic properties can be fully defined in addition to the kinematic properties. We refer to this FR as FRED (Flux Rope from Eruption Data). We illustrate the FRED construction using the 2012 July 12 eruption and compare the coronal and interplanetary properties of the FR. The results indicate that the FRED input should help make realistic predictions of the components of the FR magnetic field in the heliosphere.

A continuous observations near an small active region (AR) NOAA 10976 by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Hinode satellite during Dec. 02 2007 from 15:50 UT to 19:59 UT. We observed that: (a) the filament formed by merging parallel fibrils into a twist structure. (b) the filament faded by reconnecting among its own loop structures, or being stripped into pieces.These process are always preceded by the brightening. (c) for the disappearance of the filament, it has close correlation with the activity, like untwisting or expanding, of its corresponding X-ray bright rope.
