LASCO Activity Report for
April 11, 2005 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
- SOHO is in telemetry Submode 5 (since 2005/03/11 @ 15:00 UT).
- EIT 195 CME watch at half-res (512x512).
- Venus entered the C3 FOV from the right on 2005/02/26
(by the end of the day). Still visible.
2005/04/08 (Friday)
00:06 UT N East Faint blob-like front starts to be discernible. By
~ 02:26 UT another one behind becomes discernible.
They both fade throughout C3.
06:50 UT E Limb Very faint and diffuse front that quickly fades.
09:26 UT NN West Jet-like front.
10:50 UT E Limb Another small front that quickly fades.
11:50 UT SS West Jet-like front.
12:26 UT WS West Diffuse front preceding another diffuse front at ~
13:50 UT, along the streamer. By that time, the slow
development of a ragged system of faint loops along
the streamer starts to be discernible.
14:26 UT NN West Jet-like front followed by a very narrow and elongated
loop front (jet-like) by 15:26 UT.
2005/04/09 (Saturday)
00:06 UT EN East Faint and diffuse front that quickly fades.
00:26 UT NN West Very faint jet-like front.
02:26 UT N Pole An extremely faint and diffuse front most clearly
visible above the N Pole (and by 3:34 above the W
limb) develops and in the following frames seem to
surround completely the C2 occulting disk. Nothing
can be discerned in C3.
08:06 UT W Limb Wide and ragged loop front.
10:26 UT E Limb Spray-like front followed at 15:26 UT by another one
(much smaller and developing slightly toward ENE).
12:06 UT S East Narrow loop front (fan-like).
13:50 UT W Limb Another wide and ragged loop front (though brighter
than the one at 08:06 UT and apparently developing
faster). A faint and ragged expanding loop front
starts to develop by 15:06 UT, superposed with the
northern leg of the wide loop front (on NW).
19:50 UT ES East Faint and elongated expanding loop front.
2005/04/10 (Sunday)
05:50 UT ES East Faint spray-like front preceding a bright loop front
with apparently twisted interior (first appearance
by 07:27 UT).
19:27 UT W Limb Very faint, narrow and diffuse spray-like front. It
fades throughout C2.
21:26 UT SS West Very faint and diffuse wide asymmetric loop front
developing very slowly. Difficult to give an exact
time of first appearance. System of faint loops
develop early on next day on SW.
