LASCO Activity Report for
August 11, 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
2004/08/10 (Tuesday)
E - S East Much gusty outflow. Several faint and elongated
ragged loop fronts that fade throughout C3 (best
discerned reported below).
W Limb Gusty outflow through ~ midday.
02:06 UT ES East Faint and elongated ragged front. A similar one
on SE.
05:06 UT E Limb Elongated ragged front.
07:54 UT S East Another couple of narrow and ragged loop fronts.
13:31 UT S Pole Diffuse front on SSE that quickly fades, immediately
followed by an asymmetric loop front above the S Pole.
Expanding curved feature (toward SW) ahead. They
fade in C3.
16:30 UT W Limb Relatively bright ragged front and some trailing
material.
16:30 UT S East System of expanding loops, spanning up to above the S
Pole. Faint extensions on SW (clearly seen at 20:30 UT)
make it difficult to disentangle its development from
that of the event reported to start at 16:30 UT on
the W Limb. Please note that those faint extensions
on SW are seen to move faster than the system of loops.
Those 'extensions' seem to be related to a faint CME
starting at around 16:12 UT in EIT Fe XII running
difference images, developing mainly toward SW.
21:54 UT ES East Faint and thin expanding loop front (slow).
21:54 UT E Limb Narrow loop front already close to the end of C2 FOV
when discerned, followed at 23:30 UT by a kind of
thick jet front that quickly fades, a little bit to S.
By 23:54 UT, another narow ragged loop front follows
at roughly the PA of the first one.
2004/08/11 (Wednesday)
00:54 UT S East Since the beginning of the day, the very slow
development of a faint system of thin loops can be
followed. Several faster events superpose later, in
the LOS, during its development.
04:54 UT ES East Faint and thin expanding loop front (slow).
04:54 UT W Limb Ragged front that fades close to the inner edge of C3.
06:54 UT EN East Initially bright spray-like front.
07:31 UT S Pole Not well defined faint fronts, spanning all above the
SE Limb.
11:30 UT EN East Another spray-like front.
