Long‑Lived Solar Active Regions Are Major Flare Factories — Cause Still Unclear Emily Mason and Kara Kniezewski report in The Astrophysical Journal that long‑lived solar active regions act as disproportionate producers of major flares and CMEs. By addressing the longstanding AR tracking problem, the study identifies persistent magnetic‑complexity and lifecycle patterns that help explain their flare productivity.
