Coronal Mass Ejections
A coronal mass ejection (CME) is an eruption of billions of tonnes of magnetically charged plasma from a star’s corona. The material ejected is sent into interplanetary space where it eventually dissipates. Should the material collide with a planet then that planet’s electro-magnetic field would be temporarily disrupted. If the Earth’s electro-magnetic field were disrupted by a large CME then p...
متن کاملComposition of Coronal Mass Ejections
We analyze the physical origin of plasmas that are ejected from the solar corona. To address this issue, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the elemental composition of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) using recently released elemental composition data for Fe, Mg, Si, S, C, N, Ne, and He as compared to O and H. We find that ICMEs exhibit a systematic abundance increase of eleme...
متن کاملPeriodicities in the occurrence of solar coronal mass ejections
Recent overwhelming evidences (Hiremath 2009a and references there in) show that sun indeed strongly influences the earth’s climate and environment. In addition to well known sunspot activity, right from the era of discovery by Galileo, other activity phenomena such as flares and coronal mass ejections are also the main drivers that input vast amount of energy, mass and momentum into the earth’...
متن کاملInitiation and propagation of coronal mass ejections
This paper reviews recent progress in the research on the initiation and propagation of CMEs. In the initiation part, several trigger mechanisms are discussed; In the propagation part, the observations and modelings of EIT waves/dimmings, as the EUV counterparts of CMEs, are described.
متن کاملCoronal Mass Ejections: Initiation and Detection
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale magnetic structures expelled from the Sun due to MHD processes involving interaction between plasma and magnetic field in closed flux regions. I provide a summary of the observational signatures and current models on CME initiation. CMEs are traditionally observed using white light coronagraphs. I also provide a summary of various signatures of CMEs...
