Scientific paper

The occurrence of eruptions in the solar atmosphere has been known for nearly a 150 years, yet the underlying mechanism that creates them remains obscure. Most present-day models are based on the principle that the energy that drives an eruption comes from the magnetic energy associated with stressed magnetic fields in the solar corona. However, there is no general agreement in the solar research community as to what triggers the release of this energy. One possibility is that it is caused by a combination of ideal (e.g. loss of equilibrium) and non-ideal (e.g. magnetic reconnection) processes. The first process can explain the rapid onset of the eruption, but the second is needed to explain the large scale of the energy release.
