Coronal Mass Ejection Image Edge Detection In Heliospheric Imager STEREO SECCHI Data

The Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2022
We present an algorithm to detect the outer edges of Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) events as seen in differences of Heliospheric Imager STEREO SECCHI HI-1 images from either A or B spacecraft, as well as its implementation in Python.

Expansion Speed of Coronal Mass Ejections

Solar Physics, 2009
A large set of limb coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are used to determine the accurate relationship between radial (V rad) and expansion (V exp) speeds of CMEs. It is demonstrated that this relation is exceptionally well described by the function f(w)=1/2(1+cot w), representing a full cone model for the CME

COMPOSITION OF CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Mercury's Eccentric Orbit as a Driver of Significant “Seasonal” Change in Upstream Solar Wind Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Mercury experiences the most intense and variable solar wind (SW) conditions in the solar system due to its close, eccentric orbit about the Sun. In addition to variation driven by coronal source and solar cycle, the SW arriving at Mercury varies periodically as the planet's heliocentric distance changes by over 50% per orbit.

Revealing the Formation of the <20 MeV Inner Proton Radiation Belt at L ∼ 2 During the 10–11 May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract A new proton radiation belt was identified during the geomagnetic superstorm of 10–11 May 2024. To investigate its origin, we use an MHD‐test particle simulation to model solar energetic proton (SEP) trapping and the evolution of the initial trapped proton population during the storm.

A density-temperature description of the outer electron radiation belt during geomagnetic storms [PDF]

, 2009
Bi-Maxwellian fits are made to energetic-electron flux measurements from seven satellites in geosynchronous orbit, yielding a number density (n) and temperature (T) description of the outer electron radiation belt.

Numerical simulations of a flux rope ejection

, 2015
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the most violent phenomena observed on the Sun. One of the most successful models to explain CMEs is the flux rope ejection model, where a magnetic flux rope is expelled from the solar corona after a long phase along ...

Validating DIRECD: Statistical Evaluation of Coronal Mass Ejection Direction Estimates from Coronal Dimmings

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are among the most energetic phenomena in our solar system, with significant implications for space weather. Understanding their early dynamics remains challenging due to observational limitations in the low corona.

Coronal "Wave": Magnetic Footprint of a Coronal Mass Ejection?

The Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We investigate the properties of two "classical" EUV Imaging Telescope (EIT) coronal waves. The two source regions of the associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) possess opposite helicities, and the coronal waves display rotations in opposite senses.

Open Magnetic Field Lines Partition Auroral Oval Segments Into Transpolar Arcs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Transpolar arcs (TPAs) are auroral structures spanning the polar cap. One type appears in conjugate hemispheres and is thought to be located on closed field lines, but how closed flux enters the open polar cap remains debated. We address this using observation and simulation of conjugate TPAs after an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By ...
