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.

Coronal mass ejections as a new indicator of the active Sun

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the geospace consequences of CMEs and found that the maximum CME speeds averaged over Carrington rotation period show good correlation with geomagnetic activity indices such as Dst and aa.

An investigation of the causal relationship between sunspot groups and coronal mass ejections by determining source active regions

TL;DR: In this paper, a method that uses a filtration process and machine learning to identify the sunspot groups associated with a large fraction of CMEs and compare the physical parameters of these identified sunpot groups with properties of their corresponding CME, to find mechanisms behind the initiation of cMEs was proposed.

Clustering of fast Coronal Mass Ejections during the solar cycles 23 and 24 and implications for CME-CME interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the clustering properties of fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that occurred during solar cycles 23 and 24 were studied. And the authors applied two methods: the Max spectrum method can detect the predominant clusters and the de-clustering threshold time method provides details on the typical clustering property and time scales.

Connecting Coronal Mass Ejections to their Solar Active Region Sources

TL;DR: In this article, an automated algorithm has been developed to connect the CMEs observed by STEREO to any corresponding solar flares and active-region (AR) sources on the solar surface.

Is the Asymmetric Cone Model for Halo Coronal Mass Ejections Correct

TL;DR: In this article, a set of 106 limb CMEs which are wide and could be possible halo events, when directed towards Earth, are used to check the accuracy of the asymmetric cone model.

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.
