Evidence for partial Taylor relaxation from changes in magnetic geometry and energy during a solar flare

Context. Solar flares are powered by energy stored in the coronal magnetic field, a portion of which is released when the field reconfigures into a lower energy state. Investigation of sunspot magnetic field topology during flare activity is useful to improve our understanding of flaring processes....
