The Powerful Force of FlaresThe forces generated in flares can accelerate solar energetic particles along open fieldlines all the way from the Sun out to the Earth.
From Small Beginnings ...Even the smallest spotless active regions can generate coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that travel out across interplanetary space.
One Active Region & Opposite Magnetic CMEsA single active region can produce CMEs that have oppositely directed magnetic fields when measured near the Earth.
Reconnection can generate Wave SignaturesA series of reversals in the input and output fields during reconnection is termed 'oscillatory' and produces periodic heating and swaying jets.
Interchange Reconnection at WorkReconnection between active regions and coronal holes interchanges positions of closed and open field, hence 'interchange' reconnection.
