Effect of an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection on Saturn’s Radio Emission
The Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR) was observed for the first time during the flyby of Saturn by the Voyager spacecraft in 1980. These radio emissions, in the range of a few kHz to 1 MHz, are emitted by electrons travelling around auroral magnetic ...

The expansion instability of a toroidal current ring in low-beta magnetized plasma is investigated. Qualitative agreement is obtained with experiments on spheromak expansion and with essential properties of solar coronal mass ejections, unifying the two apparently disparate classes of fast and slow coronal mass ejections.

Open magnetic flux in the polar cap almost completely disappeared and the Earth’s magnetotail was compressed into a calabash shape during the 9th April 2015 coronal mass ejection, according to magnetohydrodynamic simulations and observations from DMSP ...

Impacts of EUV Wavefronts on Coronal Structures in Homologous Coronal Mass Ejections [PDF]
Large-scale propagating fronts are frequently observed during solar eruptions, yet it is open whether they are waves or not, partly because the propagation is modulated by coronal structures, whose magnetic field we still cannot measure. However, when a front impacts coronal structures, an opportunity arises for us to look into the magnetic properties ...

Diffuse Interplanetary Radio Emission from a Polar Coronal Mass Ejection [PDF]
We report on the first detection of nonthermal radio emission associated with a polar coronal mass ejection. We call the radio emission as diffuse interplanetary radio emission (DIRE), which occurs in the decameter-hectometric wavelengths. The radio emission originates from the shock flanks that interact with nearby streamers.

A Coronal Mass Ejection Source Region Catalog and Their Associated Properties
The primary objective of this study is to connect coronal mass ejections (CMEs) to their source regions, primarily to create a CME source region catalog, and secondarily to probe the influence that the source regions have on the different statistical ...

Eruptions from solar ephemeral regions as an extension of the size distribution of coronal mass ejections [PDF]
Observations of the quiet solar corona in the 171A (~1MK) passband of the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) often show disruptions of the coronal part of small-scale ephemeral bipolar regions that resemble the phenomena associated with coronal mass ejections on much larger scales: ephemeral regions exhibit flare-like brightenings, rapidly ...

Coronal Dynamic Activities in the Declining Phase of a Solar Cycle [PDF]
It has been known that some solar activity indicators show a double-peak feature in their evolution through a solar cycle, which is not conspicuous in sunspot number. In this letter, we investigate the high solar dynamic activity in the declining phase of the sunspot cycle by examining the evolution of polar and low latitude coronal hole areas and the ...

Constraining the Physical Properties of Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections with Coronal Dimming: Application to Far Ultraviolet Data of $ε$ Eridani [PDF]
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a prominent contributor to solar system space weather and might have impacted the Sun's early angular momentum evolution. A signal diagnostic of CMEs on the Sun is coronal dimming: a drop in coronal emission, tied to the mass of the CME, that is the direct result of removing emitting plasma from the corona.

Solar Coronal Mass Ejection and Post–Coronal Mass Ejection Blob Formation in Two-fluid Simulations
A coronal mass ejection (CME) and post-CME blob phenomena in the solar atmosphere, associated with shear flow and convergent flow perturbations in the photosphere, are investigated using a resistive two-fluid (electron–ion) code.
