LASCO Activity Report for
April 3, 2006 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





2006/03/31 (Friday)

00:26 UT  W Limb	Diffuse and elongated (not-well defined) front. It fades
			throughout C3.

2006/04/01 (Saturday)

20:30 UT  W Limb	Diffuse brightening precedes the slow development of
			a loop front followed by a twisted (rather 'circular') 
			core (typical gradual CME event). Loop front first
			seen in C3 on next day at 06:18 UT.

22:30 UT  N East	Extremely faint and diffuse front that quickly fades 
			preceding the development of an asymmetric loop front
			(see entry at 03:30 UT on next day).

2006/04/02 (Sunday)

03:30 UT  N East	Faint and diffuse asymmetric loop front followed by
			an apparently different feature (much fainter and
 			diffuse) that extends up to past the N Pole during 
			its early development in C2. By 06:06 UT the signal 
			above the N Pole in C2 is no longer discernible. C3 
			shows a loop front developing toward NE, first clearly
 			seen at 05:18 UT followed by an expanding and very faint
 			front at 07:42 UT that appears above the NNE Limb and
			quickly fades.

18:54 UT  W Limb	Small and bright front in the trailing material of the
			event reported to start at  22:30 UT on previous day.

2006/04/03 (Monday)

00:30 UT  E Limb	Elongated and diffuse fan-like front.

08:30 UT  E Limb	Elongated and very ragged loop-like feature.

Last C2 image available by the time of writing: 12:06 UT.
