LASCO Activity Report for
August 30, 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





2004/08/27 (Friday)

01:54 UT  S East	Extremely narrow and elongated expanding loop front at
			the PA of the southern leg of event reported to start at
			20:58 UT on previous day.

09:06 UT  W Limb	Bright loop front, cavity and twisted inner core. Typical
			3-part structure CME. Gusty outflow and gusty 
			infalling material well into next day.

10:30 UT  E Limb	Faint assymetric front becomes discernible, developing
			toward ENE.

13:54 UT  S East	Very faint front develops as an elongated loop. By 
			17:30 UT, a little bit to N, another front becomes
			discernible. And by 18:30 UT, still a little bit to
			N, a front smilar to the first one starts developing
			at about 2 solar radii.	Infalling material afterward.
			They all fade throughout C3.	
	
23:30 UT  EN East	Very faint small front develops as a ragged loop front
			that fades close to the inner edge of C3. 

2004/08/28 (Saturday)

12:06 UT  W Limb	Faint fan-like front. It fades throughout C2.

20:58 UT  ENE-N East	Very faint ragged front that quickly fades.

2004/08/29 (Sunday)

02:30 UT  W Limb	Bright ragged loop front followed at 03:54 UT by a
			faint loop front that quickly fades. Bt that time,
			just behind the bright front, a narrower ragged loop-
			like structure can be discerned (already close to the
			outer edge of C2 FOV). They both fade throughout C3.

04:30 UT  S East	Very faint jet-like front, apparently followed by
			extremely faint expanding curved structures developing
			toward the S Pole.

13:31 UT  S East	Another jet-like front that quickly fades. Afterward
			(difficult to give an exact time of first appearance), 
			again a system of extremely faint expanding curved
			structures develop toward the S Pole. They are barely
			visible in C3.

2004/08/30 (Monday)

03:54 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop front that fades close to the inner edge of 
			C3. By 05:54 UT another ragged loop front follows. By
			07:31 UT, a narrow and faster loop front follows to N.
			Another (fainter) ragged front at 09:06 UT (it quickly
			fades).
