Scientific paper

Coronal mass ejections are among the most energetic events in our solar system, but their initiation mechanisms are still not well known. One possibility is loss of stability of a twisted flux rope confined by an overlying arcade. We present here a continuation of our research studying the role of reconnection on this system. We examine the relationship between critical-current reconnection and stability of a simple confined flux rope in simulations free from numerical reconnection. The current work focuses on imposing various reconnection rates on the system to determine how reconnection effects the stability of the confined rope.
