The Coronal Mass Ejection Visibility Function of Modern Coronagraphs
The Coronal Mass Ejection Visibility Function of Modern Coronagraphs
Abstract We analyze the detection capability of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) for all currently operating coronagraphs in space. We define as CMEs events that propagate beyond 10 solar radii with morphologies broadly consistent with a magnetic flux-rope presence. We take advantage of multi-viewpoint observations over five month-long intervals, corresponding to …
