Changes of Magnetic Energy and Helicity in Solar Active Regions from Major Flares
Magnetic free energy powers solar flares and coronal mass ejections, and the buildup of magnetic helicity might play a role in the development of unstable structures that subsequently erupt. To better understand the roles of energy and helicity in large flares and eruptions, we have characterized th...
