Origins of Solar Minimum CMEs with ICMEs

This study investigates the sources and characteristics of solar minimum coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs). It examines the initiation, propagation, and destination of CMEs, as well as provides an update on ICME events at ~1AU. The study identifies the sources of CMEs with ICMEs by analyzing low-corona activity and initiation sites. Forward modeling results of STEREO CMEs are also presented.

  9. Identify the Sources of CMEs with ICMEs • Begin with ICMEs and identify the corresponding coronagraph CMEs. • Identify low-corona-activity / initiation-sites of this group of CMEs (a small fraction of CME population).

  19. 2008-April-26 flare related CME FWM

  20. 2008-June-02 quiet Sun streamer blow-out CME - CME source location by FWM FWM MC axis

  21. 2008-Jul-07 CME with unclear source near a coronal hole boundary - CME source location by FWM

  23. Summary • The small group of CMEs with ICMEs during STEREO time had variety of solar sources, including small magnetic regions, weak flares, small EUV dimmings and quiet Sun, and lack of large active regions and large flares. • Almost all of these CMEs are slow and so as to the resulted ICMEs. • We have worked on detailed case studies for a few cases (not shown today), and are carrying on these studies further by other case studies and statistical studies.
