Abstract

In this chapter, we review the more popular models describing CME launch and early acceleration. The vast majority require the occurrence of some destabilising event, such as magnetic reconnection or herniation. We discuss the requirements of the model, the physics of their evolution and their comparison with observations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is noteworthy that Moore and Roumeliotis [49] regarded the flare as the source of the CME, and so the two were indistinguishable to them at the time.
