How Does Magnetic Reconnection Drive the Early-stage Evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections?
Theoretically, CME kinematics are related to magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona. However, the current quantitative understanding of this relationship is based on the analysis of only a handful of events. Here we report a statistical study of 60 CME-flare events from August 2010 to December 2013. We investigate …
