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.

Investigating width distribution of slow and fast CMEs in solar cycles 23 and 24

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the angular width of CMEs to understand the differences between the slow and fast CME, and found that the width distribution of slow CME follows different power law distributions, with a power law indices of -1.1 and -3.7 for fast and slow, respectively.

On the relationship between filaments and solar energetic particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the association rate between solar energetic particles (protons) and filaments and/or filament eruptions (FEs) is investigated using the largest reported event sample, and it is shown that proton events observed in the period 2010-2016 are accompanied by filaments in 92% (143/156) of the cases.

Comparing the Features of Generation of CMEs Moving with Different Speed in the Field of View of the LASCO Coronagraphs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the morphological features of the formation of the selected mass ejections based on the observations in the extreme ultraviolet lines with features of their kinematics.

Interplanetary Type IV Bursts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the characteristics of moving type IV radio bursts which extend to the hectometric wavelengths (interplanetary type IV or type IV IP bursts) and their relationship with energetic phenomena on the Sun.

Correlations between the CME acceleration, other CME parameters and flare energy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that the CMEs experience net acceleration when the different parameters of CME, such as angular width, mass, angular width etc. are correlated and when the cME parameters are correlated with flare duration and peak flux.

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.
