A slow streamer blowout at the Sun and Ulysses

Abstract

On 10 June 2000 a streamer on the southeast limb slowly disappeared from LASCO/C2 over ~10 hours. A small CME was reported in C2. A substantial interplanetary CME (ICME) was later detected at Ulysses, which was at quadrature with the Sun and SOHO at the time. This detection illustrates the properties of an ICME for a known solar source and demonstrates that the identification can be done even beyond 3 AU. Slow streamer blowouts such as this have long been known but are little studied.
