A class of large-scale magnetic compositions have been identified to be CME-prolific, which is characterized by a huge unipolar sunspot appearing in a large-scale extended bipolar region in synoptic magnetic charts. To understand the CMEs' origin and the nature of flux appearance, we scrutinize the long time-sequence of MDI magnetograms of high-resolution mode for super active region AR9236. Two types of magnetic features are clearly identified. They are moving magnetic features (MMFs) emanated radially from the penumbral boundary and emerging flux regions (EFRs) whose growing opposite polarities rotate out from the inner boundary of sunspot moat along helical paths in opposite directions. The interaction between the MMFs and EFRs often creates multi-fold magnetic neutral lines where the flare/CMEs initiated.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
