摘要： Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs), sets of coherently twisted magnetic field lines, are believed as core structures of various solar eruptions. Their evolution plays an important role to understand the physical mechanisms of solar eruptions, and can shed light on adverse space weather near the Earth. However, the erupting MFRs are occasionally prevented by strong overlying magnetic fields, and the MFR evolution during the descending phase in the confined cases is lack of attention. Here, we present the deformation of an erupting MFR accompanied by a confined double-peaked solar flare. The first peak corresponded to the MFR eruption in a standard flare model, and the second peak was closely associated with the flashings of an underlying sheared arcade (SA), the reversal slipping motion of the L-shaped flare ribbon, the falling of the MFR, and the shifting of top of filament threads. All results suggest that the confined MFR eruption involved in two-step magnetic reconnection presenting two distinct episodes of energy release in the flare impulsive phase, and the latter magnetic reconnection between the confined MFR and the underlying SA caused the deformation of MFR.

摘要： It is generally believed that filament formation involves a process of the accumulation of magnetic energy. However, in this paper we discuss the idea that filaments will not erupt and will only deform when the stored magnetic energy is released gradually. Combining high-quality observations from Solar Dynamics Observatory and other instruments, we present the formation and immediate deformation of a small filament (F1) in the active region (AR) 12760 on 28-30 April 2020. Before the filament formation, three successive dipoles quickly emerged with separation motions in the center of AR 12760. Due to the magnetic interaction between magnetic dipoles and pre-existing positive polarities, coronal brightenings consequently appeared in the overlying atmosphere. Subsequently, because of the continuous cancellation of magnetic flux that happened around the adjacent ends of F1 and another nearby filament (F2), the magnetic reconections occurred intermittently occurred between F1 and F2. Finally, F1 lessened in the shear, and F2 became shorter. All the results show that the formation of F1 was closely associated with intermittent interactions between the sequence of emerging dipoles and pre-existing magnetic polarities, and the immediate deformation of F1 was intimately related to intermittent interactions between F1 and F2. We also suggest that the intermittent magnetic interactions driven by the continuous magnetic activities (magnetic-flux emergence, cancellation, and convergence) play an important role in the formation and deformation of filaments.
