LASCO Activity Report for
April 22, 2002 SOHO Science Daily Meeting
Planner: K. Schenk, G. Lawrence
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
Data badly degraded as a result of ongoing proton storm.
Image cadences and exposure times somewhat disrupted.

06:50 UT N West Narrow front along streamer, fades quickly
07:50 UT S West Narrow front along streamer, fades quickly
09:26 UT N Pole Faint narrow loop
13:27 UT N East Narrow well-defined loop along streamer, fades
13:50 UT S West Narrow bright front with cavity
16:50 UT S East Bright spray
20:26 UT S West Bright blob/narrow front
23:26 UT N East Bright fan
2002/04/20
00:50 UT S West Bright front with some trailing material
06:26 UT S Pole Ragged front with much trailing material.
EIT eruptive prominence. Core-like material
moves highly non-radially
2002/04/21
01:27 UT N East Fairly wide ragged loop front along streamer,
cavity and trailing material follow
01:27 UT HALO Wide bright front over W limb is full halo CME
by 02:26 though faint in E. Extremely fast,
~2500km/s. X1.5 in AR9906 and prominence
eruption over S pole. Proton storm degrades
subsequent data to time of writing
16:06 UT S West Fairly fast ragged front along streamer.
cavity and some core-like material follow,
data poor
2002/04/22
00:38 UT S West Similar event to previous but slightly slower
01:18 UT S West Ragged front, slower and narrower than
previous events
