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

Comets as natural laboratories: Interpretations of the structure of the inner heliosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the ion tails of comets as complementary sources of information on dynamical heliospheric phenomena and the underlying continuous solar wind, using a projection technique using the comet's orbital plane to sample its ion tail as a proxy for determining radial solar wind velocities in each comet's vicinity.

The Visual Complexity of Coronal Mass Ejections Follows the Solar Cycle
TL;DR: The Heliospheric Imagers on board NASAs twin STEREO spacecraft show that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can be visually complex structures, and a web-based citizen science tool is created to explore this complexity.

A Study of the Initiation Process of Coronal Mass Ejections and the Tool for Their Auto-Detection
TL;DR: Olmedo et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the stability of the well-known eruptive flux rope model in the context of the torus instability and developed a tool to automatically detect CMEs.
VLA Measurements of Faraday Rotation through a Coronal Mass Ejection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported on simultaneous white-light and radio observations made of three CMEs in August 2012, using very large array (VLA) full-polarization observations using 1'2'GHz frequencies of a constellation of radio sources through the solar corona at heliocentric distances that ranged from 6' −'15R⊙$15~\mathrm{R}_{\odot}

Measurements of Coronal Rotation and Small Coronal Ejections Using the STEREO COR1 Coronagraph
TL;DR: In this paper, a single and dual-spacecraft measurements of white-light coronal rotation rates in 2007 and 2008 as a function of latitude and altitude, and trajectory characteristics of small upward-moving coronal density enhancements were conducted using the STEREO COR1 coronagraph.
