Modeling and measuring the flux reconnected and ejected by the two-ribbon Flare/CME event on 7 November 2004
Observations of the large two-ribbon flare on 7 November 2004 made using SOHO and TRACE data are interpreted in terms of a three-dimensional magnetic field model. Photospheric flux evolution indicates that -1.4×10 43 Mx2 of magnetic helicity was injected into the active region during the 40-hour bui...
