Abstract

Few examples of the creation of a filament channel or filament have ever been documented. In a recent paper, Gaizauskas and coworkers observed the early stages of creation of such a channel and then the formation of a filament in it. The filament channel was born when a new activity complex emerged near an old, decaying bipolar active region. The filament itself then formed after convergence of flux in the channel.
