Understanding the complex morphology of a CME: multi-view analysis and numerical modeling

Cecilia Mac Cormack, Abril Sahade, Angelos Vourlidas +3

Although all coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that propagate into the heliosphere should contain a magnetic flux rope (MFR) component, the majority do not exhibit the expected white-l…

The Sun's Alfven Surface: Recent Insights and Prospects for the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)

Steven R. Cranmer, Rohit Chhiber, Chris R. Gilly +7

The solar wind is the extension of the Sun's hot and ionized corona, and it exists in a state of continuous expansion into interplanetary space. The radial distance at which the wi…

Propagation of the 7 January 2014 CME and Resulting Geomagnetic Non-Event

M. L. Mays, B. J. Thompson, L. K. Jian +8

On 7 January 2014 an X1.2 flare and CME with a radial speed 2500 km s was observed from near an active region close to disk center. This led many forecasters to est…

Strong coronal channelling and interplanetary evolution of a solar storm up to Earth and Mars

Christian Möstl, Tanja Rollett, Rudy A. Frahm +15

The severe geomagnetic effects of solar storms or coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are to a large degree determined by their propagation direction with respect to Earth. There is a la…
