LASCO Activity Report for
July 15, 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
Additional stray light in C3 images now removed
during standard image processing.
C2 high-cadence pB sequence campaign now running.
C2 pB sequences being taken every hour at the expense
of 1 normal C2 image and 1 normal C3 image.
Campaign runs to 2002/08/02 (possibly later, TBD)
Planet Jupiter is now in C3's field of view, moving L to R
Planet Mercury is now in C3's field of view, moving R to L

01:42 UT N East Faint loop front with some trailing
material along streamer
05:36 - 13:15 UT Unrecoverable data gap
due to LEB problem
18:06 UT S East Fairly wide sequence of loop fronts,
some cavities, some brighter core-like
regions
22:06 UT W Limb Very faint slow narrow loop front(s)
2002/07/13
00:30 UT N East Fast narrow fairly bright concave front
02:06 UT S West Narrow bright loop front soon obscured by:
02:42 UT S West Wide bright fast loop front with cavity and
bright core, much trailing material. EIT
backsided CME
07:30 UT E limb Fairly bright narrow fan-like front, poor
data coverage
11:30 UT S East Moderately narrow loop front with
core-like region
18:30 UT N East Faint fan-like front
2002/07/14
06:06 UT N East Very faint ragged front fades quickly
09:06 UT N East Narrow spray-like front, slow and prolonged
15:30 UT N East Moderately faint narrow loop front with cavity
19:31 UT N Pole Extremely faint loop front, slow
2002/07/15
00:30 UT Partial Wide bright loop front in NE fills quadrant
Halo and more by 02:30, eventually spanning ~150
deg. Sequence of bright, well-defined loop
fronts and cavities, some trailing material
and gusty outflow. Backsided event
06:30 UT S West Slow narrow ragged front along streamer,
some core-like material
11:30 UT N East Faint ragged front, possibly residual to
partial halo event
