00:30 UT N Pole Faint and big expanding loop front. 04:06 UT S West Ragged loop front that fades in C3. 09:54 UT N East Bright loop front with a faint and diffuse extension all above the NW, W, and NW Limbs. The event was first seen on C3 at 10:42 UT above the NE Limb, developing mainly toward NE. The extensions continue very clear all around the N Pole, NW, W, and SW Limbs. Nothing can be distinguished above the SE Limb. By 13:42 UT, the event (excess brightness) spans in C3 ~ 280 deg from PA 180 - 100. The mean plane-of-sky speed of the LE of the front at PA 31 was ~ 635 km/sec (based on C3 data) showing practically no acceleration. GOES reported an C6.3 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10696 (N09E28) between 08:45 - 10:04 with peak emission at 09:05 UT, most likely asssociated to the event described above. On the other hand, EIT 195 images show a brightening on the aforementioned AR at 09:00 UT, with signatures of a CME developing mainly towards NE. But please note that since around 07:13 UT excess activity begins to be seen on that AR. GOES reported also a C1.0 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10696 (N09E28) between 07:23 - 07:28 UT with peak emission at 07:26 UT. In summary and based on its appearance in the C3 FOV, the event has therefore been determined as a partial halo CME, frontsided. 16:30 UT ES East Faint and elongated expanding loop front. 23:30 UT N East Extremely bright loop front spanning all above the N Pole. By 00:30 UT on next day, fainter extensions can be seen all around the western hemisphere. The event was first seen on C3 at 23:42 UT just appearing above the NE Limb, and developing mainly toward NE. The events looks much brighter than the previous reported one. Even though, nothing can be distinguished above the SE Limb. Close inspection of C3 images show apparently another front coming behind the first front. This first front seems to develop mainly toward NE while the second one seems to be the one that continues all around the western hemisphere. The whole event spans in C3 about 290 deg (by 02:42 on 2004/11/05) from PA 180 - 110. The mean plane-of-sky speed of the LE of the outermost front at PA 27 was ~ 1053 km/sec (based on C3 data) and showing practically no acceleration. GOES reported an M2.5 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10696 (N11E19) between 21:42 - 22:53 UT with peak emission at 22:29 UT, most likely associated to the first front; and an M5.4 X-ray flare on the same AR (N08E18) between 22:53 - 23:26 UT with peak emission at 23:09 UT, most likely asssociated to the second front. On the other hand, EIT 195 images show a brightening on the aforementioned AR at ~22:00 UT, with signatures of a CME developing mainly towards NE. A strong wave-like intensity disturbance can be distinguished developing mainly toward N, NW, and W. By 23:12 UT another strong brightening can be seen on the aforementioned AR developing afterward with similar morphological characteristics as before. In summary, and from a global point of view, the event as a whole has therefore been determined as a complex partial halo CME, frontsided. But please keep in mind that in fact two events close in space and time occurred.
03:30 UT N Pole In the aftermath of previous halo event, several faint and expanding loop fronts. 06:30 UT W Limb Jet-like front that quickly fade. It is followed at 07:54 UT by a bright and very narrow ragged loop front. 10:30 UT W Limb Similar event to the previous one. A jet-like front that quickly fades preceding at 12:06 UT a brighter feature resembling a very narrow loop front. 12:54 UT EN East Ragged and elongated front. It is preceded at 10:54 UT, on W, by a very faint and diffuse loop front that fades throughout C2. Apparent expanding outflow all around the occulter. GOES reported an M4.0 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10696 (N08E15) between 11:23 - 11:33 UT with peak emission at 11:30 UT. 14:54 UT W Limb Bright and narrow front.
