Abstract

It has been commonly accepted that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) result from the restructuring or reconfiguring of large-scale coronal magnetic fields. In this paper, we analyzed four CME events using Nançay Radioheliograph (NRH) images and the experiments onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft to understand the coronal restructuring leading to CME initiation. We investigated the onset, duration, and position of the radio emissions in relation to EUV dimming and the inferred CME onset.
