00:54 UT SS East Diffuse jet-like front. 02:54 UT WS West Bright and narrow front with faint loop-like extensions toward N. GOES recorded a C3.8 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10786 (N08W87) between 01:48 - 01:57 UT with peak emission at 01:53 UT. 04:54 UT WS West Another bright and narrow front with faint loop-like extensions toward N. GOES recorded an M1.0 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10786 (N10W86) between 03:02 - 03:28 UT with peak emission at 03:23 UT. 05:54 UT WS West Another bright and narrow front (brighter and slightly bigger than the previous ones) with faint loop-like extensions toward N. GOES recorded a C2.2 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10786 (N07W89) between 05:23 - 05:31 UT with peak emission at 05:23 UT. 06:30 UT WN West Bright and ragged loop front that apparently comprises two fronts: i) one developing toward W (Front [1]), and ii) another one, a little bit "elongated", developing slightly toward WNW (Front [2]). They are followed at 07:54 UT by another bright and ragged loop front (Front [3]) that is first seen when it is already half way to the end of the C2 FOV. It develops apparently faster than the other two fronts. The events in the C3 FOV show up as one wide loop front developing toward W first seen at 07:42 UT (Front [1]) immediately followed by the Front [3] at 08:18 UT. Afterward it becomes difficult to separate both events. Also by 08:18 UT starts to be discernible the Front [3] on WNW (roughly at a PA that matches that of the northern leg of the wide loop front). This loop on WNW can be tracked running behind the complex front [1]-[3], though later seems to be pushed from behind by the following event (see next entry --> 10:30 UT). The mean plane-of-sky speed of the LE of the complex Front [1]-[3] at PA 274 was ~ 737 km/sec. GOES reported an M9.1 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10786 (N07W89) that peak at 07:25 UT during a long duration X-ray event that started at 05:57 and was reported to finish at 07:29 UT. EIT 195 running difference images show a brightening right on the W limb at 06:12 UT followed by a much stronger brightening at 07:26 UT. An faint intensity disturbance can be seen traveling on the disk toward E. 10:30 UT WN West Extremely small brightening just appearing that develops as an extremely bright, big, and wide loop front by the time of the next C2 frame (10:54 UT), the LE already reaching the end of the C2 FOV on W. Faint and diffuse extensions develop to N. By 11:30 UT, the C2 occulting disk is completely covered. The event is first seen in C3 at 11:18 UT, the LE on W already at ~ 10.2 solar radii. It appears very bright on W with diffuse extensions spanning all above the N Pole. The C3 occulting disk is covered by 12:42 UT. By that time, the LE on W is already at ~ 21 solar radii. Note that this event develops in the aftermath of a previous big and complex event associated with an M9.1 X-ray flare (peak at 07:25 UT) that was first seen in C2 at 06:30 UT (see previous entry). The mean plane- of-sky speed of the event under analysis in this report at PA 280 was ~ 2280 km/sec (based on only the first two C3 frames). After the first two frames, the event gets close to the LE of previous event and therefore starts to slow down (it becomes more difficult to precise the location of the LE). If considered all the C3 frames available at the time of writing, the mean plane-of-sky speed becomes ~ 1430 km/sec at PA 277, showing a marked deceleration. GOES reported a long duration X1.2 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10786 (N10W89) between 10:16 - 11:29 UT with peak emission at 10:55 UT. The high energy proton fluxes (>10 Mev) that started to gradually increase by ~ 16:00 UT on 2005/07/13 (~ two hours after the M5.0 X-ray flare) suffered another increase about 1 hour after the peak of the X1.2 X-ray flare, most likely associated with the interaction of the CME event under analysis in this report with the previous one already under development. EIT 195 running difference images show a strong brightening starting at 10:24 UT immediately followed by the signature of a big CME developing all above the western limb jointly with an intensity disturbance traveling across the disk toward E. In summary, the event has therefore been classified as a limb event associated with an X1.2 X-ray flare. Its associated shock made it appear as an asymmetric full halo event. Note that it is the shock the one which could be partly geoeffective. The development of "our" CME event is profoundly affected by the CME event associated to the M9.1 X-ray event. Therefore, it is a complex event what will be dealing with at the time of the shock arrival at Earth. 12:06 UT W Limb Bright ragged loop front developing slightly toward WSW in the aftermat of previous halo CME. 13:31 UT W Limb Another ragged front followed by a fainter one at 14:54 UT. Much gusty outflow continues. 16:54 UT W Limb Very narrow front followed by a diffuse brightening precedes a bright and ragged loop front at 17:54 UT. By around 18:54 UT, an asymmetric and ragged (wider) loop front follows. By around that time, a gradual increase of solar protons starts to be discerned in LASCO images. GOES reported on NOAA AR 10786 i) a C7.3 X-ray flare (N10W90) between 16:29 - 16:39 UT with peak emission at 16:34 UT, and ii) an M1.3 X-ray flare (N09W90) between 17:16 - 17:28 UT with peak emission at 17:25 UT. 23:30 UT W Limb Initially bright loop front developing slightly toward WSW. It fades throughout C3. GOES reported an M1.1 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10786 (N09W90) between 22:50 - 23:02 UT with peak emission at 22:57 UT.
00:54 UT ES East Faint jet-like front preceding an elongated loop-like front at 02:30 UT. The loop front fades throughout C3. 02:30 UT W Limb Bright loop front developing slightly toward WSW. Much gusty outflow continues all above the W Limb. 08:30 UT ES East Very diffuse and elongated loop-like front. 09:06 UT WN West Diffuse brightening just appearing, develops as a not-well-defined front. It is followed at 09:54 by a ragged loop front developing toward W. 11:54 UT WN West Bright and ragged loop front. Time of the last C2 image analyzed: 12:30 UT.
