LASCO Activity Report for
August 09, 2004 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
2004/08/06 (Friday)
00:54 UT E Limb Elongated and extremely faint expanding feature.
09:54 UT W Limb Slow development of a loop front, with a diffuse
helmet-shaped front ahead of it. By 20:30 UT (C2 time)
it is clearly seen as a well developed flux-rope CME
(LE at the end of the C2 FOV). Twisted trailing material.
Much gusty outflow well into next day.
15:06 UT E Limb Elongated and faint loop front developing slightly
toward ENE.
2004/08/07 (Saturday)
05:30 UT N East Bright ragged loop front with structured interior and
twisted trailing material. Gusty outflow well into
next day.
15:30 UT W Limb In the gusty outflow, faint elongated loop front.
2004/08/08 (Sunday)
W Limb Gusty outflow continues.
08:54 UT W Limb Ragged loop front developing jointly with following
event. EIT Fe XII running diference images show
an extremely faint ejection a little bit to N of NOAA
AR 0655 starting at around 05:48 UT.
08:54 UT HALO Bright and wide loop front above the E Limb with
extensions surrounding completely the C2 occultor
(fainter above the NW Limb). A fainter front can be
discerned a little bit ahead of the bright loop front
above the E limb. The event is first seen in C3 at
09:18 UT appearing above the E Limb. Faint extensions
can be discerned by the time surrounding the C3 occutor
completely. EIT Fe XII running difference images show
the development of a backsided CME above the ENE Limb
between ~ 08:24 - 10:38 UT. Faint intensity disturbance
travelling to S, above the limb. No significant X-ray
activity by the time.
09:54 UT S West In the HALO aftermath, a wide ragged loop front can be
discerned, one leg (the brighter one) on SE. A narrower
one follows on SW at 10:34 UT.
12:30 UT EN East Loop front that quickly fades. Followed by another
loop front at ~ 14:54 UT. By the time this second
front fades (~ 17:54 UT) another loop front becomes
visible, already at the end of the C2 FOV. This last one
fades throughout C3.
16:06 UT SS West Jet-like front that quickly fades.
21:54 UT S East Ragged and not well defined loop front with structured
interior.
22:30 UT E Limb Faint loop front developing toward ESE.
2004/08/09 (Monday)
00:30 UT S East Curved feature expanding towards S.
03:30 UT S East Ragged loop front followed at ~ 05:30 UT by another one.
05:06 UT E Limb Faint expanding loop front. Another one can be guessed
ahead of it.
06:30 UT WN West Fast spray-like front followed at 09:06 UT by an
elongated and expanding loop front.
