| heal.abstract | The primary constraining force that inhibits global solar eruptions is provided by the overlying background magnetic field. Using magnetic field data from both the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the spectropolarimeter of the Solar Optical Telescope aboard Hinode , we study the long-term evolution of the background field in active region AR11158 that produced three major coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The CME formation heights were determined using EUV data. We calculated the decay index ( z / B )(? B /? z ) of the magnetic field B (i.e., how fast the field decreases with height, z ) related to each event from the time of the active region emergence until well after the CMEs. At the heights of CME formation, the decay indices were 1.1-2.1. Prior to two of the events, there were extended periods (of more than 23 hr) where the related decay indices at heights above the CME formation heights either decreased (up to 15%) or exhibited small changes. The decay index related to the third event increased (up to 118%) at heights above 20 Mm within an interval that started 64 hr prior to the CME. The magnetic free energy and the accumulated helicity into the corona contributed the most to the eruptions by their increase throughout the flux emergence phase (by factors of more than five and more than two orders of magnitude, respectively). Our results indicate that the initiation of eruptions does not depend critically on the temporal evolution of the variation of the background field with height. | en |
