SELF-SIMILAR EXPANSION OF SOLAR CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR LORENTZ SELF-FORCE DRIVING
SELF-SIMILAR EXPANSION OF SOLAR CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR LORENTZ SELF-FORCE DRIVING
We examine the propagation of several CMEs with well-observed flux rope signatures in the field of view of the SECCHI coronagraphs aboard the STEREO satellites using the GCS fitting method of Thernisien, Vourlidas \& Howard (2009). We find that the manner in which they propagate is approximately self-similar; i.e., the …
