Coronal Mass Ejection Shock and Sheath Structures Relevant to Particle Acceleration (2005, neutral): “Because of their energetics and global scale, CMEs are of interest because of the large disturbances they produce and because they are associated with a restructuring of the solar corona (Low 2001).”
The solar magnetic field (2006, background): “In any case, the Sun has to shed magnetic helicity in the course of the solar cycle [157], either in the form of resistive dissipation at very small scales, by cross-hemispheric transport, or by losses into outer space (possibly in the form of coronal mass ejections [158]).”
A Global Picture of CMEs in the Inner Heliosphere (2004, result): “The results presented here also support the hypothesis of Low (1997; Zhang and Low, 2001) that CMEs may represent the process by which the old magnetic flux is removed and replaced by the flux of the new magnetic cycle.”
Emergence of a Helical Flux Rope under an Active Region Prominence (2008, background): “This topology of magnetic fields is suggested from observations of erupting prominences, or coronal mass ejections (e.g., Dere et al. 1999; Ciaravella et al. 2000; Low 2001).”
Coronal prominence structure and dynamics: A magnetic flux rope interpretation (2006, neutral): “0148-0227/06/2006JA011871 A12103 1 of 18 photosphere [Low, 2001].”
ELECTRIC CURRENTS IN FLARE RIBBONS: OBSERVATIONS AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL STANDARD MODEL (2014, background): “…the possibility of having more complicated, highly twisted, kink unstable flux ropes, as is required in some models of CME ejection (e.g., Gibson & Low 1998; Low 2001 (Figure 9); Roussev et al. 2003; Cohen et al. 2010; Kliem et al. 2010; Shiota et al. 2010; Lugaz et al. 2011; Roussev et al. 2012).”
Space Weather Modeling Framework: A new tool for the space science community (2005, methodology): “Flux ropes may suddenly lose mechanical equilibrium and erupt due to foot-point motions [Wu et al., 2000], injection of magnetic helicity [Chen and Garren, 1993], or draining of heavy prominence material [Low, 2001].”
Global-Scale Turbulent Convection and Magnetic Dynamo Action in the Solar Envelope (2004, background): “It has been suggested that the expulsion of this magnetic helicity by coronal mass ejections may play a crucial role in altering the global topology of the coronal field during polarity reversals (Low 2001; Low & Zhang 2004).”
Solar Dynamo Theory (2014, background): “In particular, coronal mass ejections are suggested to be a primary contributor to the net outward helicity flux (Low 2001).”
On the three-dimensional configuration of coronal mass ejections (2004, background): “The existence of large-scale expanding helical flux ropes is supported by satellite observations of magnetic clouds in the solar wind and their association with disappearing filaments (e.g. Bothmer & Schwenn 1998) and also by theoretical models (e.g. Low 2001).”
The Physical Processes of CME/ICME Evolution (2017, background): “Flux ropes have often been invoked as a theoretical construction corresponding to the pre-event plasma cavity, which contains the free energy necessary to drive CMEs (e.g., Low 2001; Török and Kliem 2003; Kliem et al. 2004; Fuller et al. 2008).”
Space Weather: The Solar Perspective (2006, background): “This type of CME where the brightening occurs simultaneously all around the coronagraphs occulting disk are called halo CMEs (Howard et al., 1982).”
The Calm before the Storm: The Link between Quiescent Cavities and Coronal Mass Ejections (2006, background): “Magnetic flux ropes may then be of import as a standard metastable equilibrium state in the quiescent corona for regions that possess significant helicity (Low 1996, 2001).”
The association of coronal mass ejections with their effects near the Earth (2005, background): “He studied the expulsion of a CME quantitatively on the basis of an ideal, polytropic, hydromagnetic description and found self-similar solutions that describe the main flows of white-light CMEs as they are observed (see also Low, 1984; Gibson and Low, 1998; and Low, 2001).”
