SOHO/EIT 304 Å Before, during, and after 2004 July 13
SOHO/EIT 195 Å & LASCO/C2 • SOHO telescopes show an eruptive event:
00:16:50 00:48:08 00:07:52 00:19:42 00:13:37 00:21:36 TRACE 171 Å

2004 July 13 event: • GOES M6.7 in AR 10646 (N15W49) • Very impulsive microwave burst • Flux 1200 sfu @ 17 GHz • Duration ~10 min • H flare not reported by patrol stations • but Big Bear images show it • Filament eruption and CME
304 Å Probable causes of large darkening in HeII 304 Å • Dimming due to density depletion? – Usually well observed in 195 Å • Occultation by absorbing material: • resonant absorption in cooler HeII (<50000 K)? • non-resonant absorption in H (<10000 K)?
304 Å 195 Å Summary on 195 Å dimming • Density-depletion 195 Å dimming lives much longer • Configuration quite different • Not a density-depletion dimming Min{Images} Images[0] Min{Images}/ Images[0]
NoRH shows • Ejected material: • First bright on the disk • Then bright above the limb, and dark on the disk • Dark moving feature is not large • Ejecta is inhomogeneous
EIT 304 Å observation Multi-frequency radio fluxes • NoRP & Ussuriysk 2.8 GHz • Solid: observed • Dotted: thermal emission of flare subtracted • Normalized to the quiet sun’s level • Absorption • TFil < TQS 3.75 = 23,000 K
AreaEIT304=0.067 , GHz Frequency dependence of radio absorption • Symbols: observed • Solid: calculated considering the ejecta and corona above it Ejected mass (6–9)·1015 g with depth = (20–200) Mm
Epilogue-I • The phenomenon was due to occultation of the quiet sun rather than an active region • This unique event was revealed from EIT 304 Å data and independently from Ussuriysk 10.7 cm records • It was possible to detect it from total flux radio records thanks to shortness of the main burst
Epilogue-II • Murphy’s Low works perfectly: • No SSRT 5.7 GHz data • No high-cadence CORONAS-F/SPIRIT 304 Å data …Which would be important… • Nevertheless, non-imaging multi-frequency total flux records allowed us to study the event
