Coronal mass ejection–driven shocks and the associated sudden commencements/sudden impulses
[1] Interplanetary (IP) shocks are mainly responsible for the sudden compression of the magnetosphere, causing storm sudden commencement (SC) and sudden impulses (SIs) which are detected by ground-based magnetometers. On the basis of the list of 222 IP shocks compiled by Gopalswamy et al. (2010), we have investigated the dependence of SC/SIs amplitudes on the speed of the coronal mass ejections...
متن کاملHeating of Heavy Ions by Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME) Driven Collisionless Shocks
Shock heating and particle acceleration processes are some of the most fundamental physical phenomena of plasma physics with countless applications in laboratory physics, space physics, and astrophysics. This study is motivated by previous observations of non-thermal heating of heavy ions in astrophysical shocks (Korreck et al. 2004). Here, we focus on shocks driven by Interplanetary Coronal Ma...
متن کاملStrength of coronal mass ejection-driven shocks near the Sun and its importance in predicting solar energetic particle events
Coronal shocks are an important structure but without direct observations in solar and space physics. The strength of shocks plays a key role in shockrelated phenomena, such as radio bursts, SEP generation and so on. This paper will present an improved method of calculating Alfvén speed and shock strength near the Sun. In the method, observations as many as possible rather than onedimensional g...
متن کاملCoronal mass ejection: key issues
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been addressed by a particularly active research community in recent years. With the advent of the International Heliophysical Year and the new STEREO and Hinode missions, in addition to the on-going SOHO mission, CME research has taken centre stage in a renewed international effort. This review aims to touch on some key observational areas, and their interpre...
متن کاملThe Coronal Mass Ejection Waiting-time Distribution
The distribution of times ∆t between coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) CME catalog for the years 1996-2001 is examined. The distribution exhibits a power-law tail ∝ (∆t) with an index γ ≈ −2.36± 0.11 for large waiting times (∆t > 10 hours). The powerlaw index of the waiting-time distribution varies with the solar cycle: for the years 1996-199...
