LASCO Activity Report for
August 29, 2005 SOHO Science Daily Meeting

Planner: K. Schenk, G. Stenborg

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





2005/08/26 (Friday)

00:54 UT  E Limb	Bright and narrow loop front already under development.
			It fades throughout C3.

03:30 UT  EN East	Diffuse brightening just appearing develops as a loop
			front along the streamer. It fades throughout C2. 

06:30 UT  E Limb	Diffuse brightening just appearing develops as a narrow
			loop front. It fades throughout C2. It is followed by
			a similar (though smaller) one at 09:06 UT.

08:54 UT  EN East	Loop front developing along the streamer. By 10:06 UT, 
			an apparent distinct front follows. Difficult to
			distinguish the two fronts in the C3 FOV. An initially
			much faster event follows later on E (see entry at 
			12:06 UT). Gusty outflow.

12:06 UT  E Limb	Big and ragged loop front. GOES reported a C2.1 X-ray
			flare on NOAA AR 10803 (N10E61) between 11:39 - 12:10 UT
			with peak emission at 11:55 UT.

13:31 UT  EN East	After the initial development of previous two events,
			the slow development of a faint system of loops can be 
			discerned superposed in the LOS with the trailing 
			material.

17:54 UT  S West	Bright ragged loop front with apparently twisted 
			trailing material.

21:54 UT  E Limb	Bright and narrow loop front with faint extensions to 
			N. GOES reported a C2.3 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10803
			(N10E49) between 21:52 - 22:08 UT with peak emission
			at 22:02 UT. A similar front follows at 00:06 UT on
			next day. Pseudo-continuous outflow all along the day 
			and well into next day.

2005/08/27 (Saturday)

	  W Limb	Pseudo-continuous outflow all along the day on the whole
			western hemisphere.

00:06 UT  E Limb	Bright and narrow loop front with faint extensions to N.

05:30 UT  E Limb	Another bright and narrow loop front with faint
			extensions to N. By 06:54 UT, a bright feature develops,
			fading by the end of the C2 FOV.

10:56 UT  S West	Not-well-defined and very diffuse (faint) front.
			Difficult to give an exact time of first appearance.

11:54 UT  E Limb	Narrow and ragged loop-like feature that fades very
			close to the inner edge of C3.

17:30 UT  EN East	Ragged and elongated loop front develops toward E. It
			fades throughout C3.

21:30 UT  E Limb	Very narrow loop front (jet-like).

23:06 UT  EN East	Blob-like feature along streamer.

2005/08/28 (Sunday)

01:31 UT  W Limb	Elongated feature precedes big event. See entry at 
			02:30 UT.

02:30 UT  W Limb	Big and bright loop front first seen in C3 at 03:18 UT.
			 
03:54 UT  E Limb	Very faint and diffuse and elongated loop front.

06:06 UT  EN East	Elongated feature preceding an asymmetric loo front 
			(brighter to s) that is first seen at 06:54 UT.

10:56 UT  E Limb	Bright and big ragged loop front with faint extensions
			to S. First seen in C3 at 11:18 UT. Development missed
			in the following data gap. GOES recorded an M1.6 X-ray
			flare on NOAA AR 10803 (N09E36) between 10:17 - 10:27
			UT with peak emission at 10:28 UT.

	12:06 - 23:30 UT	LASCO Data gap.

2005/08/29 (Monday)

01:54 UT  W Limb	Faint and elongated loop front.

07:31 UT  WS West	Faint and diffuse feature.	

Time of the last C2 image analyzed: 07:54 UT.
