On the Relationship Between Coronal Mass Ejections and Magnetic Clouds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare the substructures of the 1997 February 07 coronal mass ejection (CME) observed near the Sun with a corresponding event in the interplanetary medium to determine the origin of magnetic clouds (MCs). We find that the eruptive prominence core of the CME observed near the Sun may not directly become a magnetic cloud as suggested by some authors and that it might instead become the ”pressure pulse” following the magnetic cloud. We substantiate our conclusions using time of arrival, size and composition estimates of the CME-MC substructures obtained from ground based, SOHO and WIND observations.

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 کاملLASCO and EIT Observations of Coronal Mass Ejections
The LASCO and EIT instruments on the SOHO spacecraft have provided an unprecedented set of observations for studying the physics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They provide the ability to view the pre-event corona, the initiation of the CME and its evolution from the surface of the Sun through 30 R ⊙. An example of the capability of these instruments is provided in a description of a single ...
متن کاملCharacteristic magnetic field and speed properties of interplanetary coronal mass ejections and their sheath regions
[1] Prediction of the solar wind conditions in near-Earth space, arising from both quasi-steady and transient structures, is essential for space weather forecasting. To achieve forecast lead times of a day or more, such predictions must be made on the basis of remote solar observations. A number of empirical prediction schemes have been proposed to forecast the transit time and speed of coronal...
متن کاملRelationship between photospheric currents and coronal magnetic helicity for force-free bipolar fields
Aims. The origin and evolution of the magnetic helicity in the solar corona are not well understood. For instance, the magnetic helicity of an active region is often about 1042 Mx2 (1026 Wb2), but the observed processes whereby it is thought to be injected into the corona do not yet provide an accurate estimate of the resulting magnetic helicity budget or time evolution. The variation in magnet...
متن کاملCoronal Mass Ejections from Sunspot and non-Sunspot Regions
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) originate from closed magnetic field regions on the Sun, which are active regions and quiescent filament regions. The energetic populations such as halo CMEs, CMEs associated with magnetic clouds, geoeffective CMEs, CMEs associated with solar energetic particles and interplanetary type II radio bursts, and shock-driving CMEs have been found to originate from sunspo...
