TLDR
The SOHO/LASCO CME catalog as mentioned in this paper is a data base for the analysis of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona.Abstract:
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are routinely identified in the images of the solar corona obtained by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission’s Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) since 1996. The identified CMEs are measured and their basic attributes are cataloged in a data base known as the SOHO/LASCO CME Catalog. The Catalog also contains digital data, movies, and plots for each CME, so detailed scientific investigations can be performed on CMEs and the related phenomena such as flares, radio bursts, solar energetic particle events, and geomagnetic storms. This paper provides a brief description of the Catalog and summarizes the statistical properties of CMEs obtained using the Catalog. Data products relevant to space weather research and some CME issues that can be addressed using the Catalog are discussed. The URL of the Catalog is: http://cdaw.gsfc.nasa.gov/CME_list.read more

Kinematics of ICMEs/shocks: blast wave reconstruction using type II emissions

TL;DR: In this article, a physical methodology was proposed to reconstruct the trajectory of interplanetary shocks using type II radio emission data, assuming that the disturbance propagates as a blast wave in the inter-planetary medium.

Two Classes of Eruptive Events During Solar Minimum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the dynamics of the coronal magnetic field during solar minimum and found that these events fall into two distinct classes: one set of events are caused by eruption and ejection of low-lying coronal flux ropes, and they could explain the origin of occasional CMEs during the solar minimum.

Search for the Relationship between the Velocity of a Coronal Mass Ejection and the Decay Rate of the Magnetic Field in the Region of Mass Emission Generation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for the relationship between the Vlin linear projection velocity and the Vss velocity in the 3D space of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) recorded by LASCO coronagraphs with an “n” decay rate of the transverse component of the Bt magnetic field above the polarity inversion line (PIL) of the photospheric magnetic field in the active region (AR) in which the CME appeared.
