We are happy to announce the publication of the completed Topical Collection on “Earth-affecting Solar Transients” in the journal Solar Physics.

This collection of 34 articles is devoted to the recent advancement in the study of Earth-affecting solar transients, such as major solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs), solar energetic particle (SEP) events, and corotating interaction regions (CIRs).

Please, read the recent Editorial by our guest editors: Jie Zhang, Xochitl Blanco-Cano, Nariaki Nitta, Nandita Srivastava, and Cristina H. Mandrini, Solar Physics (2018) 293: 80. doi.org/10.1007/s11207-018-1302-9
