英文摘要 | Context. Solar filaments, also called solar prominences when appearing on the solar limb, consist of dense, cool plasma suspended in the hot and tenuous corona. They are the main potential sources of solar storms. Aims. To understand the onset mechanism of solar filaments, we investigated the eruption process of an inverted U-shaped solar filament and two precursory jet-like activities. Methods. Using observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory-Ahead (STEREO-A), we investigated the event from two distinct observational perspectives: on the solar disk using NVST and SDO, and on the solar limb using STEREO-A. We employed both a nonlinear force-free field model and a potential field model to reconstruct the coronal magnetic field with the aim to understand its magnetic properties. Results. Two precursor jet-like activities were observed before the eruption, displaying an untwisted rotation. The second activity released an estimated twist of over two turns. During these two jet-like activities, Y-shaped brightenings, which are newly emerging magnetic flux accompanied by magnetic cancellation, and the formation of newly moving fibrils were identified. When these observational features are combined, it can be inferred that these two precursor jet-like activities released the magnetic field that constrained the filament and were caused by newly emerging magnetic flux. Before the filament eruption, it was observed that some moving flows had been ejected from the site as the onset of two jet-like activities, indicating the same physical process as in the two jet-like activities. Extrapolations revealed that the filament was below the height of the decay index of 1.0 and had a strong magnetic field (540 Gauss) and a high twist number (2.4 turns) before the eruption. An apparent rotational motion was observed during the filament eruption. Conclusions. We deduce that the solar filament, exhibiting an inverted U-shape, is a significantly twisted flux rope. The eruption of the filament was initiated by the release of constraining magnetic fields through continuous magnetic reconnection. This reconnection process was caused by the emergence of new magnetic flux. © 2024 EDP Sciences. All rights reserved. |
