Scientific paper

The dynamics of magnetic flux ropes near the sun and in interplanetary space are studied using a modified version of the flux rope model of Chen and Garren. (Chen and Garren, GRL, 20, 2319, 1993) In this model, a coronal mass ejection (CME) corresponds to a flux rope with foot points that remain anchored in the photosphere. The model flux rope eruption can be driven by a rapid increase in poloidal flux (flux injection), a gradual increase in poloidal flux (photospheric foot-point twisting), or a rapid increase in the volume of hot plasma within the flux rope (mass injection). Model results are compared with data from the LASCO and EIT instruments on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft and with interplanetary magnetic cloud data over the range 0.5 to 4.0 AU.
