  3. Cone model for halo CMEs • Concept of the cone model was proposed twenty years ago (see, e.g. Howard et al, 1982; Fisher & Munro, 1984); • Zhao et al (2002) eventually used this model to determine geometrical and kinematical properties of halo CMEs; • Xie et al (2004) improved algorithm for determination of the parameters for the model: they measured the minor axis, major axis of the elliptical projection of the circular cross section of the cone on the plane of sky, and then derive the parameters needed. • This work makes use of least-square-fitting technique to determine the parameters for the cone model. In this way, observational information is used sufficiently.

  11. Extremely fast halo CMEs and active regions AR0486, together with AR0488, produced a big open field area after they emerged. AR0464 (0484, 0501) emerged within/close to an area with large-scale open magnetic field . ? The active regions, associated with those high speed halo CMEs in this period, are acting or closed related with sources of open magnetic flux, except AR0498. In this way, open magnetic field provides an avenue for CMEs to blow out.

  12. AR0498 and large-scale magnetic field 0498

  13. Summary • The extremely fast halo CMEs in 2003 October-November, originated from active regions, are found to closely related with special configurations of large-scale magnetic fields. A detail description is in follow. • Active regions appeared in an open field area; • Active regions produced a big open field area after they emerged; • Active regions located at the boundary of two open field areas with the same magnetic polarity. • The observational results above show that the large-scale magnetic fields related to those events provide a configuration in favor of blow-out of eruptions.
