Points Of Interest

2004/03/08

	  S East	Gusty outflow all along the day.

00:30 UT  S Pole	Very faint ragged loop front. Outflow afterward. B8.4
			X-ray flare on NOAA AR 0567 (S14E62) at 23:03 UT on
			previous day (peak). More B-class X-ray flares on the
			same region at 07:30 and 08:20 UT. Large and faint
			extensions over NW. Difficult to establish whether
			they have any conexion to the event.
		
02:54 UT  W Limb	Extremely narrow ragged front followed at 06:30 UT by
			another ragged front. They fade throughout C2.

06:54 UT  W Limb	Very faint loop front extending over SW (central axis
			at PA ~ 245). Between 05:36 and 09:38 UT, EIT Fe XII 
			show the development of a CME originating on NOAA AR
			0569, which is located slightly W of the central 
			meridian (~20 deg) at about 11 deg S latitude.

23:06 UT  W Limb 	Ragged asymmetric front.

2004/03/09

00:06 UT  N West	Faint narrow ragged front. It fades throughout C2.

00:54 UT  S West	Faint and diffuse elongated front preceding several 
			faint and diffuse 'half' loop fronts starting at 
			~ 04:06 UT. Signatures compatible with the above
			description in EIT Fe XII running difference images,
			coming out from behind the SW limb.

01:54 UT  S East	Bright ragged loop front. It fades throughout C3.

01:54 UT  W Limb 	Jet-like front followed at 03:54 UT by another one. At
			06:30 UT follows an initially small ragged front that
			develops as a fairly faint loop front (barely visible 
			in C3).

10:54 UT  W Limb	Narrow ragged front.

	12:20 - 19:00 UT	Temporary DSN Data Gap
