The cartoon

(click on the image for a larger version)

A rare cartoon depicting a failed filament eruption, interesting because the flares described behave similarly to the CSHKP paradigm. An interesting exception is that the authors conclude that the attempted getaway attempt runs into the stiff arms of a strapping field, and in the process excites it to produce heating and footpoint signatures. But what makes the strapping field so stiff as to drive reconnection? Note that the conclusions drawn here do not look much like those of another failed eruption cartoon in the Archive.

      Most praiseworthy here: the authors base their cartoon not just on a single event, but on three: SOL1999-10-22T09:16, SOL2004-07-14T05:23, and SOL2004-08-13T18:12 - as with the Snark's [1] "what I tell you three times is true"..
