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.
