Researches on CMEs Chen 2007, J. Astrophys. & Astron. • Pre-CME structures • Initiation • Propagation • + associated Phenomena • Geo-effectiveness • Forecast How are CMEs triggered? How can CMEs be predicted? Precursors
Precursors of CMEs Chen, Innes, & Solanki 2008, A&A • Emerging Flux (Feynman & Martin 1995) (2) SXR brightenings (Harrison 1989) (3) Radio Noise Storms (4) Type IIIRadio Burst (5)Filament Darkening & Widening Chen & Shibata, 2000, ApJ., 545, 524 (6) Anymore?
HObservation from BBSO 2000 Sep 26 flare/CME event
Ocillating Motions Amplitude: ~15 km/s Period: ~20 min
Eruption Lasco EIT 195
Synthesis of the event Siphon flow pressure difference along a loop Surge reconnection btw emerging flux & corona Prominence eruption & flare CSHKP model
Chen, Innes, & Solanki, 2008, A&A Filament Oscillation—another precursor for CMEs? Universality? Tether-cutting model (Moore &LaBonte 1980) Ambiguity? 12 times the oscillation period in our case
