  9. Second law of thermodynamics Processes in which the entropy of an isolated system would decrease do not occur, or, in every process taking place in an isolated system, the entropy of the system either increases or remains constant Solar application An eruption (e.g., a CME) proceeds irreversibly because Of energy dissipation (e.g., through reconnection or shock waves

  10. Emerging flux leads to near-homology Common knowledge Ranns et al., A&A 360, 1173 (2000) Nitta & Hudson, GRL 28, 3801 (2001) Comment This explanation for homologous flares implies some persistence in the flux emergence, ie a coherence over time scales of the interval of homology

  11. Standard emerging- flux cartoon Note the poor cartoonsmanship - the panels show different field lines Heyvaerts, Priest & Rust, ApJ 216, 123, 1977

  12. • The flow associated with flux emergence implies changes in the footpoint geometry. • Successive events would have different coronal null geometries. • The separatrix current in this geometry circulates only in the corona.

  16. Emerging flux time-history

  18. Homologous dimmings

  19. Dimmings at various wavelengths

  20. Conclusions • Homologous flares might be explainable by persistent flux emergence, even in a reconnection model • Homologous CMEs might be explained similarly, if they are basically derived from small spatial scales in ARs • Chertok et al dash that hope, though, because the homology extends to the quiet corona on large scales, with dissipation
