Abstract
This study examines the relationship between early solar coronal mass ejection (CME) propagation, the associated filament eruption, and coronal dimming in the rare event observed on March 28, 2022, which featured a three-part CME in the low corona of active region AR 12975, including a bright core/filament, dark cavity, and bright front edge. We employ 3D filament and CME shock reconstructions using data from SolO, STEREO-A, and SDO to track the filament's path, height, and kinematics. Our analysis across three viewpoints shows the outer front in SolO/EUI 304 Å aligns with shock structures in STEREO-A/EUVI 195 Å, showing a full 3D EUV wave dome, later matching the outer CME front in STEREO-A COR2. We introduce the method ATLAS-3D (Advanced Technique for single Line-of-sight Acquisition of Structures in 3D) and validate it against traditional approaches to reconstruct CME shock using SOLO data exclusively. Additionally, we estimate early CME propagation characteristics based on coronal dimming evolution with the DIRECD method. Results indicate that the filament height increased from 28 to 616 Mm (0.04 to 0.89 Rs) within 30 minutes (11:05 to 11:35 UT), reaching peak velocity of around 648 km/s and acceleration of around 1624 m/s. At 11:45 UT, the filament deflected by 12° to a height of 841 Mm (1.21 Rs), while the CME shock expanded from 383 to 837 Mm (0.55 to 1.2 Rs) over 10 minutes. Key parameters include a CME direction inclined by 6°, a 21° half-width, and a 1.12 Rs cone height at the dimming's impulsive phase end. This event demonstrates that expanding dimming correlates with early CME development, with the DIRECD method linking 2D dimming to 3D CME evolution. These insights underscore the value of multi-viewpoint observations and advanced reconstructions for improving space weather forecasting.
