TLDR
In this paper, the expansion instability of a toroidal current ring in low-beta magnetized plasma is investigated, and the results are verified with experiments on spheromak expansion and with essential properties of solar coronal mass ejections.
Abstract
The expansion instability of a toroidal current ring in low-beta magnetized plasma is investigated. Qualitative agreement is obtained with experiments on spheromak expansion and with essential properties of solar coronal mass ejections, unifying the two apparently disparate classes of fast and slow coronal mass ejections.

Two-stage evolution of an extended C-class eruptive flaring activity from sigmoid active region NOAA 12734: SDO and Udaipur-CALLISTO observations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a multi-wavelength investigation of a C-class flaring activity that occurred in the active region NOAA 12734 on 8 March 2019 using data from AIA and HMI on board the SDO and the Udaipur-CALLISTO solar radio spectrograph of the Physical Research Laboratory.

The causes of quasi-homologous CMEs

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic source locations of 142 quasi-homologous (QH) coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are identified, of which 121 are from solar cycle (SC) 23 and 21 from SC 24.

Acceleration phases of a solar filament during its eruption

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the role of resistive magnetic reconnection and the ideal instability of magnetic flux rope in CMEs and found that both processes have a comparable contribution to accelerate the filament in this event.

Manifestations of three dimensional magnetic reconnection in an eruption of a quiescent filament: \\ Filament strands turning to flare loops

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on observations of conversion of bright filament strands into flare loops during 2012 August 31 filament eruption, which is not included in the standard flare model (CSHKP), as it does not address footpoints of erupting flux ropes and ribbon hooks.

Variation of Magnetic Flux Ropes through Major Solar Flares

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the variation of coronal magnetic fields, focusing on magnetic flux ropes (MFRs), through major flares including 29 eruptive and 16 confined events, and found that nearly 90% events possess MFR before flare and 70% have MFR even after flare.
