Studies on Twisted Magnetic Flux Bundles by Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) Takako T. ISHII Kwasan Observatory, Kyoto-U.

Contents; ・Our previous studies ・Advantage of Solar-B

Our previous studies We have studied what is the key process to trigger the major solar flares using observational data of the evolution of active regions. Key question: What is the common magnetic field configuration among flare-productive active regions ? We have constructed schematic models of emerging magnetic flux bundles based on sunspot proper motions.

Method Emerging magnetic flux tube Bipolar pair of sunspots photosphere proper motion proper motion Photosphere Chromosphere (H-alpha center)

Data analysis ・Domeless Solar Telescope (DST) 　at Hida Observatory, Kyoto-U. 　⇒ H-alpha images by Lyot filter ・TRACE ⇒ White light images and EUV images ・SOHO / MDI 　⇒ Magnetograms and Intensitygrams Evolution of active regions (pair identification, sunspot proper motion) Flare activity (energy storage, trigger)

For several active regions, we found that the emergence of twisted magnetic flux bundles is the key to high productivity of major flares. Ishii et al.
