Multi-Wavelength View of Flare Events on November 20, 2003

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We analyze two flare events which occurred in active region NOAA 501 on November 20, 2003. The H-alpha and magnetogram measurements show interaction between two filaments which produced a slowly rising flare event, corresponding to two stages of magnetic reconnection. The relative clockwise rotation between the two sunspot systems caused filament destabilization. The cusp-shaped magnetic field in the main phase of the second flare and its evolution in correlation with ribbon separation provide evidence for the cause of the CME eruption. The propagation and orientation of the CME with respect to the ecliptic plane is illustrated by IPS images.
