CRITICAL DECAY INDEX AT THE ONSET OF SOLAR ERUPTIONS
Magnetic flux ropes are topological structures consisting of twisted magnetic field lines that globally wrap around an axis. The torus instability model predicts that a magnetic flux rope of major radius $R$ undergoes an eruption when its axis reaches a location where the decay index $-d(\ln B_{ex})/d(\ln R)$ of the …
