Abstract

The three-dimensional structure of the magnetic field in the source region of CMEs is the key to understand how the stored magnetic energy eventually causes an eruption. A CME accompanied by a filament eruption on 2000 February 26-27 is particularly a good event to study the three-dimensional magnetic field structure. This event was very well observed with the EIT and LASCO of SOHO and the SXT of Yohkoh, and shows the following clues of the magnetic field structure which caused the CME. (1) The filament had a helical structure before the eruption and it was kept throughout the eruption. (2) The coronal loop structure shows that this event was an eruption of a part of the quadrapolar magnetic field structure consisting of two active regions. In this proceeding, we present a brief overview of the event.
