SOHO/LASCO observed two (2) halo CMEs on September 20 2012. This alert
is describing the first event [A]. It is first seen in C2 at 05:48 UT
as a faint expanding symmetric halo.
The event continues into the C3 field beginning 06:06 to 11:30 UT
as the cme dissipates in C3 at approximately 21 Rsun.
Time/height measurements were marked to 4 points in C2 with speeds
of 870.2 Km/sec at position angle 102 degrees. The event is marked to 7 points
in C3. Speeds average through both fields to 802.7 Km/sec at PA 102 degrees.
Acceleration -29.39 m/sec^2.
SDO/AIA: No evidence in 193A.
STEREO: Beacon data
COR2 A, 05:39-06:54 UT as a loop expanding over the southwest hemisphere.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 1266.5 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI A, 05:25-05:55 UT, flare of an AR on the limb in the SW.
COR2 B, 00:00-11:40 UT data gap. n/a
EUVI B, 00:00-09:26 UT data gap. n/a
The observation of this event is considered 'GOOD'. This CME is determined a BACKSIDED event.
