Relationship Between Recurrent Magnetic Flux Rope and Moving Magnetic Features

Universe
Large-scale magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) usually become visible during an eruption and are the core structures of coronal mass ejections, but the nature of MFRs is still a mystery. Here, we identify a large transequatorial MFR that spans across NOAA 13373 (
