Results of a plasmoid model compared with data of coronal mass ejections
Bochsler, P.; Balsiger, H.; Wimmer-Schweingruber, R. F. +2 more
The motion of closed magnetic structures, plasmoids, in the solar atmosphere is examined in a simple model. A system of equations describing the dynamics, the internal energy balance, and the ionisation processes is solved numerically. While the plasmoids are accelerated and heated, ionisation and recombination processes of the ions take place. De…
The initiation of coronal mass ejections-what observations are needed now?
Harrison, R. A.
We have been observing solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) for over two decades. We have a good idea of the mass, size and speed distributions of these events; we have a wealth of topological information and have studied their initiation and their effects on the Earth-environment through the observation of related activity and through interdiscipl…
