Coronal Mass Ejections as Loss of Confinement of Kinked Magnetic Flux Ropes (2005, methodology): “It is proposed that CME precursors are metastablemagnetic configurations that, given some finite perturbation or some additional energy build-up, make a transition to a significantly lower energy state or to nonequilibrium (e.g., Sturrock et al. 2001; Priest & Forbes 2002).”
Bright X-Ray Flares in Orion Young Stars from COUP: Evidence for Star-Disk Magnetic Fields? (2005, background): “These types of events are often observed both in the Sun (see, e.g., the review by Priest & Forbes 2002) and in most active stars, and their study has been the subject of a copious literature (see, e.g., the relevant chapter reviewing the topic in Favata & Micela 2003).”
A Statistical Study of Main and Residual Accelerations of Coronal Mass Ejections (2006, background): “Nonthermal energetic particles are accelerated inside or in the vicinity of the reconnection region through various possible mechanisms (e.g., see review by Priest & Forbes 2002).”
Coronal Mass Ejection: Initiation, Magnetic Helicity, and Flux Ropes. II. Turbulent Diffusion-driven Evolution (2003, background): “In the first paper (Amari et al. 2003, hereafter Paper I), we have considered the case where B evolves as a consequence of slow boundary motions converging toward the inversion line, a situation considered before in two dimensions by Priest & Forbes (2002).”
The standard flare model in three dimensions - I. Strong-to-weak shear transition in post-flare loops (2012, methodology): “Several 3D models have been recently proposed in the form of cartoons (Shibata et al. 1995; Moore et al. 2001; Priest & Forbes 2002).”
MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF SOLAR ACTIVE REGIONS THAT GOVERN LARGE SOLAR FLARES AND ERUPTIONS (2016, background): “It is now widely accepted that flares are associated with magnetic reconnection, a physical process that rearranges the magnetic configuration and converts magnetic energy into kinetic energy and thermal energy, and with nonthermal particle acceleration (Priest & Forbes 2002; Shibata & Magara 2011).”
Onset of Coronal Mass Ejections Due to Loss of Confinement of Coronal Flux Ropes (2007, background): “It is proposed that CME precursors are metastable magnetic configurations that, given some finite perturbation or some additional energy build-up, make a transition to a significantly lower energy state or to nonequilibrium (e.g., Sturrock et al. 2001; Priest & Forbes 2002).”
Solar Flares: Magnetohydrodynamic Processes (2011, methodology): “…Solar Physics http://www.livingreviews.org/lrsp-2011-6 10 Kazunari Shibata and Tetsuya Magara The energy released by magnetic reconnection is immediately transported from the site of reconnection via radiation, thermal conduction, high-energy particles, and plasma blobs (Priest and Forbes, 2002).”
CIRCULAR RIBBON FLARES AND HOMOLOGOUS JETS (2012, methodology): “…can be seen that φ̇+ and φ̇− are temporally correlated with the flare non-thermal emission (approximated using the time derivative of the SXR light curve), which is theoretically expected (Priest & Forbes 2002) and may demonstrate the essential role of magnetic reconnection in producing this event.”
The standard flare model in three dimensions II: upper limit on solar flare energy (2012, background): “For the latter, the standard model attributes the flare energy release to magnetic reconnection that occurs in the wake of coronal mass ejections (Shibata et al. 1995; Lin & Forbes 2000; Moore et al. 2001; Priest & Forbes 2002).”
Longitudinal Magnetic Field Changes Accompanying Solar Flares (2005, background): “This means that one of the basic assumptions of modern flare theories (see Priest & Forbes 2002), that the photosphericmagnetic field does not change during flares, needs to be reexamined.”
The magnetic field in the solar atmosphere (2014, background): “The spatial proximity between flare ribbons and QSLs agrees with the picture of confined flares (for reviews see Priest and Forbes, 2002; Shibata and Magara, 2011), which relates flare ribbon emissions to particles that are accelerated at the coronal reconnection site and that follow the separatrix…”
An Observational Overview of Solar Flares (2011, background): “The following recent reviews of observations of flare and related phenomena, including theory, are also recommended for further reading: Priest & Forbes (2002); Aschwanden (2002); Benz (2008); Krucker et al. (2008a); Vršnak & Cliver (2008); Schrijver (2009).”
OBSERVING FLUX ROPE FORMATION DURING THE IMPULSIVE PHASE OF A SOLAR ERUPTION (2011, background): “These particles stream down along the newly reconnected field lines and produce the well observed flare ribbons and post-flare loops, as well as enhancing soft X-ray and hard X-ray emissions (Forbes & Acton 1996; Priest & Forbes 2002).”
X-ray sources and magnetic reconnection in the X3.9 flare of 2003 November 3 (2006, background): “D magnetic reconnection model of solar flares (e.g., Priest & Forbes 2002) it is assumed that vertical, oppositely directed magnetic fields form a current sheet in which magnetic reconnection takes place and particles are accelerated.”
