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.

Excitation of kink oscillations of coronal loops: statistical study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between kink oscillations of coronal loops and lower coronal (r 1.4R� ) eruptions and plasma ejections, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and coronal Type-II radio bursts.

The Interaction of Successive Coronal Mass Ejections: A Review

TL;DR: A review of the different aspects associated with the interaction of successive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the corona and inner heliosphere, focusing on the initiation of series of CMEs, their interaction in the helIosphere, the particle acceleration associated with successive CME, and the effect of compound events on Earth's magnetosphere is presented in this article.

Solar flares, coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particle event characteristics

TL;DR: In this paper, a catalogue of 314 solar energetic particle (SEP) events extending over a large time span from 1984 to 2013 has been compiled, and the properties as well as the associations of these SEP events with their parent solar sources have been thoroughly examined.

Review on Current Sheets in CME Development: Theories and Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the catastrophe model for solar eruptions predicted the formation and development of the long current sheet (CS) and how the observations were used to recognize the CS at the place where the CS is presumably located.

Waves: The Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation on the Wind Spacecraft

TL;DR: The WAVES investigation on the WIND spacecraft will provide comprehensive measurements of the radio and plasma wave phenomena which occur in Geospace as mentioned in this paper, in coordination with the other onboard plasma, energetic particles, and field measurements will help us understand the kinetic processes that are important in the solar wind and in key boundary regions of the Geospace.

Interplanetary acceleration of coronal mass ejections

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical model was proposed to predict the arrival of CMEs at 1 AU, based on the relation between the acceleration and initial speed of the CME.
