2012-12-29T19:15:00 --> 2012-12-29T20:00:00

This flare is apparently non-eruptive, but higher loops brighten at later times. More than one set of loops are involved.

2012-12-29T13:30:35 --> 2012-12-29T15:00:35

STB images show that the source region of this eruption is 20 degs behind the limb, but a significant velocity component away from the plane of the sky makes it easier to see the eruption from Earth view. Only a minor CME is seen by LASCO.

2012-12-28T17:00:03 --> 2012-12-29T01:00:03

The filament generally moves to higher altitudes with turbulent motions, but the corona at 171 A and 211 A does not show corresponding changes.

2012-12-28T10:20:23 --> 2012-12-28T11:20:23

There are only mild changes high in the corona, but a narrow CME is observed by LASCO at 11:27. Is the tiny filament eruption (encircled) responsible for the CME?

2012-12-28T03:00:03 --> 2012-12-28T04:59:27

The eruption itself is minor (although with a bright and narrow CME). At 171 A, some low-lting loops are seen to oscillate at the time of the eruption.

2012-12-28T07:00:03 --> 2012-12-28T08:30:03

The dimming is associated with a minor eruption from a region just behind the limb. It is barely a CME.

2012-12-27T19:30:35 --> 2012-12-27T22:00:35

A filament extends to the bottom of the images in this movie. It is not clear whether it erupted, but a minor two-ribbon flare is seen only under it northern part.

2012-12-27T05:20:23 --> 2012-12-27T05:50:23

This jet may follow open filed structure. But no type III burst is observed around the time of the jet.

2012-12-27T00:45:00 --> 2012-12-27T01:24:36

Fast bullet-like ejecta with heating of a small loop, reminiscent of emerging-flux models for jets. The ejection seems to decelerate probably tracing tall closed loops.

2012-12-26T16:50:23 --> 2012-12-26T18:30:23

This is not a big eruption, but the region to the north is seen to oscillate as the filament gets erupted. Dimming is also clear high in the corona, resulting in a minor CME. Only at 304 A do we see material fall back.

2012-12-26T14:00:03 --> 2012-12-26T17:00:03

A confined eruption preceded by multiple jet-like ejections from a small region.

2012-12-26T07:20:23 --> 2012-12-26T08:20:23

The erupting filament appears bright at 304 A and dark at 211 A. At a certain stage, it looks slinky-like, but it is not clear whether it represents a true twist. This movie shows how the eruption propagates into and transforms the corona above to become a CME.

2012-12-25T08:52:35 --> 2012-12-25T12:40:35

A filament is seen to rise and erupt from just inside the E limb in a region that erupted similarly on 2012/12/23 when it was still just behind the l imb.

2012-12-24T17:36:03 --> 2012-12-24T23:40:03

An eruption from a medium-sized AR connects to QS northward of it, and also less obviously to a region trailing to the NE. This event has many similarities to an eruption from this region on 2012/12/23.

2012-12-24T00:00:03 --> 2012-12-24T09:08:03

Two filaments (apparently unconnected but evolving jointly) near the polar crown activate. The largest, trailing one appears to straighten up vertically and subsequently drain and vanish as an absorbing body. The leading one is faint at all times, never really connects to the trailing one, but appears to lean towards it as that one moves towards a vertical orientation.

2012-12-23T20:56:35 --> 2012-12-23T21:56:35

An off-limb eruption (SE) initiating from behind the disk generates thin bright emission patterns as the eruption takes off.

2012-12-23T19:08:35 --> 2012-12-23T23:48:35

An eruption occurs in the northern reaches of a N-hemisphere AR. There is no obvious filament in 211/193/171, but a clear post-eruption arcade. The perturbed field couples into QS field NE-ward of the region, and apparently even well eastward of that.

2012-12-21T05:28:03 --> 2012-12-21T10:52:03

A large pretty filament eruption at the S limb. The Sun clearly does not know much of the Maya calendar so the eruption is not directed earthwards.

2012-12-21T06:00:03 --> 2012-12-21T06:56:03

This minor eruption is otherwise unremarkable, except that this is the only phenomena the Sun has produced at least close to the disk center in the so-called end of the world day. So this is about as close to the catastrophe as we will ever get. Sorry, guys.

2012-12-20T20:33:03 --> 2012-12-21T00:00:03

A very nice coronal wave behind the W limb. In 211A it nicely highlights the connectivity of the field. This wave is even vaguely present in 304A
