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

The Dynamics of Stellar Coronae Harboring Hot-jupiters II. A Space Weather Event on A Hot-jupiter
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME) event on a close-in giant planet in an extrasolar system were modeled in a similar manner as in simulations of space weather events on Earth.

How is open solar magnetic flux lost over the solar cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct open solar flux over the last three solar cycles and demonstrate that the loss term may be related to the degree to which the heliospheric current sheet is warped, i.e., locally tilted from the solar rotation direction.

The height evolution of the `true' CME mass derived from STEREO COR1 and COR2 observations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived deprojected CME kinematics and CME ''true'' mass evolutions for a sample of 25 events that occurred during December 2007 to April 2011.

The Solar Connection of Enhanced Heavy Ion Charge States in the Interplanetary Medium: Implications for the Flux-Rope Structure of CMEs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a set of 54 interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) events whose solar sources are very close to the disk center (within ± 15∘ from the central meridian).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature of the Source Plasma in Gradual Solar Energetic Particle Events
TL;DR: In this article, the power-law dependence of element abundance enhancements vs suppressions in solar energetic particle (SEP) events has been investigated and a new method to determine the most probable value of $T$676 for these events in the energy region was proposed.
