Coronal Mass Ejections: Initiation and Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
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 detected in other wavelengths, which have helped us obtain a complete picture of the CME phenomenon in the inner heliosphere.

Solar Mini-Dimming Kinematics and Their Positive Correlations with Coronal Mass Ejections and Prominence
Solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the Extreme Ultra-Violet coronal eruptions. Here, sequences of 171_A images taken by Solar Dynamic Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembaly on 13 June 2010 are used. In this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. The average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...
متن کاملInitiation of Coronal Mass Ejections in a Global Evolution Model
Loss of equilibrium of magnetic flux ropes is a leading candidate for the origin of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The aim of this paper is to explore to what extent this mechanism can account for the initiation of CMEs in the global context. A simplified MHD model for the global coronal magnetic field evolution in response to flux emergence and shearing by large-scale surface motions is ...
متن کاملOn the Feasibility of Imaging Coronal Mass Ejections at Radio Wavelengths
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can have a profound impact on the interplanetary medium and the near-earth environment. We discuss the feasibility of detecting coronal mass ejections at radio wavelengths with a groundbased instrument. In particular, we explore the possibility that a radio telescope employing Fourier synthesis imaging techniques can detect thermal bremsstrahlung emission from CMEs...
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 کاملOn the Temporal Relationship between Coronal Mass Ejections and Flares
The temporal relationship between coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and associated solar Ñares is of great importance to understanding the origin of CMEs, but it has been difficult to study owing to the nature of CME detection. In this paper, we investigate this issue using the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph and the EUV Imaging Telescope observations combined with GOES soft X-ray observa...
