These phenomenon are called solar flares. They are caused by the powerful magnetic fields of the sun interacting and causing an outburst of solar material. Further information, real-time animations and images of solar flares can be seen at NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory site in the related links below.

Are novas or novae classified into different types?
No, a nova is a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly returning to its original state over a few months. Novae are caused by a cataclysmic nuclear explosion on a white dwarf, which causes a sudden brightening of the star and they can repeat on the same star as material repeatedly builds up on its surface from a nearby companion. They are therefore always in a binary system. Novas/Novea should not be confused with "Supernovae" which are different and are classified into different types.
