DRIVING CURRENTS FOR FLUX ROPE CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS

DRIVING CURRENTS FOR FLUX ROPE CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS

We present a method for measuring electrical currents enclosed by flux rope structures that are ejected within solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Such currents are responsible for providing the Lorentz self-force that propels CMEs. Our estimates for the driving current are based on measurements of the propelling force obtained using …
