Description:
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are explosive large-scale outbursts of the Sun’s coronal plasma and magnetic field. They can induce strong geomagnetic storms at Earth, which pose serious threats to space systems, communications and navigation. Hence, arrival predictions of CMEs are of special interest to the humane society. Such predictions require a meticulous analysis of CME properties in the earliest possible stage. Coronagraph observations can provide important insights into the CME kinematics, morphology and mass at CME distances of only a few solar radii away from the Sun. However, the ...
