Abstract

Several cases of erupting filaments showing distinctly their “feet” have been studied. Role of the feet and their anchorage with the photosphere in maintaining filament stability is established; apart from the footpoint separation and height criteria. Further, a homologous series of more energetic events, namely, the flaring arches and eruptive flares of March 5–7, 1991, suggest a repetitive restoration of magnetic field conditions and energy build-up within a day. High resolution H-alpha observations of these events indicate that large amount of ejected material was “siphoned out” from the chromosphere through, the top. of a low-lying compact emission loop within the active region.
