Onset of Coronal Mass Ejections Due to Loss of Confinement of Coronal Flux Ropes (2007, background): “This latter transition constitutes a MHD catastrophe,which can result in an explosive release of the storedmagnetic energy (e.g., Priest& Forbes 2002; Lin et al. 2003).”
Homologous Confined Filament Eruptions via Magnetic Breakout (2008, background): “A number of theories have been developed to account for solar eruptions (for reviews, see Forbes 2000; Klimchuk 2001; Lin et al. 2003; Forbes et al. 2006; Mikić & Lee 2006).”
Direct Observations of the Magnetic Reconnection Site of an Eruption on 2003 November 18 (2005, background): “The catastrophe model of solar eruptions suggests that the major eruptive processes occurring in the solar atmosphere are triggered by the catastrophic loss of mechanical equilibrium in the magnetic configuration (e.g., Forbes 2000; Priest & Forbes 2002; Lin et al. 2003).”
