LASCO Activity Report for
August 29, 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
2005/08/26 (Friday)
00:54 UT E Limb Bright and narrow loop front already under development.
It fades throughout C3.
03:30 UT EN East Diffuse brightening just appearing develops as a loop
front along the streamer. It fades throughout C2.
06:30 UT E Limb Diffuse brightening just appearing develops as a narrow
loop front. It fades throughout C2. It is followed by
a similar (though smaller) one at 09:06 UT.
08:54 UT EN East Loop front developing along the streamer. By 10:06 UT,
an apparent distinct front follows. Difficult to
distinguish the two fronts in the C3 FOV. An initially
much faster event follows later on E (see entry at
12:06 UT). Gusty outflow.
12:06 UT E Limb Big and ragged loop front. GOES reported a C2.1 X-ray
flare on NOAA AR 10803 (N10E61) between 11:39 - 12:10 UT
with peak emission at 11:55 UT.
13:31 UT EN East After the initial development of previous two events,
the slow development of a faint system of loops can be
discerned superposed in the LOS with the trailing
material.
17:54 UT S West Bright ragged loop front with apparently twisted
trailing material.
21:54 UT E Limb Bright and narrow loop front with faint extensions to
N. GOES reported a C2.3 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 10803
(N10E49) between 21:52 - 22:08 UT with peak emission
at 22:02 UT. A similar front follows at 00:06 UT on
next day. Pseudo-continuous outflow all along the day
and well into next day.
2005/08/27 (Saturday)
W Limb Pseudo-continuous outflow all along the day on the whole
western hemisphere.
00:06 UT E Limb Bright and narrow loop front with faint extensions to N.
05:30 UT E Limb Another bright and narrow loop front with faint
extensions to N. By 06:54 UT, a bright feature develops,
fading by the end of the C2 FOV.
10:56 UT S West Not-well-defined and very diffuse (faint) front.
Difficult to give an exact time of first appearance.
11:54 UT E Limb Narrow and ragged loop-like feature that fades very
close to the inner edge of C3.
17:30 UT EN East Ragged and elongated loop front develops toward E. It
fades throughout C3.
21:30 UT E Limb Very narrow loop front (jet-like).
23:06 UT EN East Blob-like feature along streamer.
2005/08/28 (Sunday)
01:31 UT W Limb Elongated feature precedes big event. See entry at
02:30 UT.
02:30 UT W Limb Big and bright loop front first seen in C3 at 03:18 UT.
03:54 UT E Limb Very faint and diffuse and elongated loop front.
06:06 UT EN East Elongated feature preceding an asymmetric loo front
(brighter to s) that is first seen at 06:54 UT.
10:56 UT E Limb Bright and big ragged loop front with faint extensions
to S. First seen in C3 at 11:18 UT. Development missed
in the following data gap. GOES recorded an M1.6 X-ray
flare on NOAA AR 10803 (N09E36) between 10:17 - 10:27
UT with peak emission at 10:28 UT.
12:06 - 23:30 UT LASCO Data gap.
2005/08/29 (Monday)
01:54 UT W Limb Faint and elongated loop front.
07:31 UT WS West Faint and diffuse feature.
Time of the last C2 image analyzed: 07:54 UT.
