TL;DR
This paper presents a 3D reconstruction of a solar eruption from 2010, revealing how initial mass off-loading triggered a flux rope eruption, advancing understanding of eruption mechanisms.
Contribution
It introduces a novel 3D reconstruction method combining SWAP and SECCHI observations to analyze the eruption process.
Findings
Mass off-loading triggered the flux rope eruption.
The eruption involved a two-part process with initial cool material flow.
Catastrophic loss of equilibrium caused the flux rope eruption.
Abstract
We present a three-dimensional reconstruction of an eruption that occurred on 3 April 2010 using observations from SWAP onboard PROBA2 and SECCHI onboard STEREO. The event unfolded in two parts: an initial flow of cooler material confined to low in the corona, followed by a flux rope eruption higher in the corona. We conclude that mass off-loading from the first part triggered a rise, and, subsequently, catastrophic loss of equilibrium of the flux rope.
