Using the evolution of coronal dimming regions to probe the global magnetic field topology : "Uuunidentical twi"ns: A new interpretation of the 12 May 1997 event
We demonstrate that study of the evolving magnetic nature of coronal dimming regions can be used to probe the large-scale magnetic structure involved in the eruption of a coronal mass ejection (CME). We analyse the intensity evolution of coronal dimming regions using 195 Å data from the Extreme ultr...
