LASCO Activity Report for
July 15, 2002 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Planner: K. Schenk, G. Lawrence

Event times are first frame seen in C2 camera unless otherwise noted.
These are preliminary observations for the daily SOHO science discussions.
Final analysis is reported on the Lasco CME list.
An archive of these reports is available.


Points Of Interest

Additional stray light in C3 images now removed
during standard image processing.

C2 high-cadence pB sequence campaign now running.
C2 pB sequences being taken every hour at the expense
of 1 normal C2 image and 1 normal C3 image.
Campaign runs to 2002/08/02 (possibly later, TBD)

Planet Jupiter is now in C3's field of view, moving L to R
Planet Mercury is now in C3's field of view, moving R to L

01:42 UT  N East	Faint loop front with some trailing 
			material along streamer

	05:36 - 13:15 UT	Unrecoverable data gap 
				due to LEB problem

18:06 UT  S East	Fairly wide sequence of loop fronts,
			some cavities, some brighter core-like
			regions

22:06 UT  W Limb	Very faint slow narrow loop front(s)

2002/07/13

00:30 UT  N East	Fast narrow fairly bright concave front

02:06 UT  S West	Narrow bright loop front soon obscured by:

02:42 UT  S West	Wide bright fast loop front with cavity and
			bright core, much trailing material. EIT
			backsided CME

07:30 UT  E limb	Fairly bright narrow fan-like front, poor
			data coverage

11:30 UT  S East	Moderately narrow loop front with
			core-like region

18:30 UT  N East	Faint fan-like front

2002/07/14

06:06 UT  N East	Very faint ragged front fades quickly

09:06 UT  N East	Narrow spray-like front, slow and prolonged

15:30 UT  N East	Moderately faint narrow loop front with cavity

19:31 UT  N Pole	Extremely faint loop front, slow

2002/07/15

00:30 UT  Partial	Wide bright loop front in NE fills quadrant
	  Halo		and more by 02:30, eventually spanning ~150
			deg. Sequence of bright, well-defined loop
			fronts and cavities, some trailing material
			and gusty outflow. Backsided event

06:30 UT  S West	Slow narrow ragged front along streamer,
			some core-like material

11:30 UT  N East	Faint ragged front, possibly residual to
			partial halo event
