Abstract

Recent interest has focussed on S-shaped or reverse S-shaped magnetic field configurations and their possible relationship to CMEs. We have observed a large sigmoidal structure that formed on 8-May-00 between the remnants of two previously existing active regions. Studies of this structure are discussed and the role of CMEs in removing helicity is examined. In contrast. the observation of a flare of class X1.2 on 30-Sep-00 that shows no evidence of related CME or other eruptive activity is described. The relevance of the pre-flare magnetic field configuration as an inhibitor of eruption is discussed.
