Abstract On 2022 February 15, an impressive filament eruption was observed off the solar eastern limb from three remote-sensing viewpoints, namely, Earth, STEREO-A, and Solar Orbiter. In addition to representing most-distant at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths—captured by Orbiter's field of view extending above 6 R ⊙ —this event also associated with release a fast (∼2200 km s −1 ) coronal mass ejection (CME) that directed toward BepiColombo Parker Probe. These two probes were separated 2° in...

Erosion occur ICME-surrounding structures are favorable conditions leading to reconnection MEs. peel off outer layers of ME eventually changes their and properties. In this study, we analyze erosion three ICME events observed very rare radial alignments multiple...
Context. Magnetic clouds (MCs) are transient structures containing large-scale magnetic flux ropes from solar eruptions. The twist of field lines around the rope axis reveals information about formation processes and geoeffectivity. During propagation MC may erode via reconnection with ambient wind. Any erosion reduces helicity ropes, changes their cross-sectional profiles. Aims. This study relates profiles in observed at 1 AU to amount undergone by MCs interplanetary space. Methods. two...
Streamer-blowout coronal mass ejections (SBO-CMEs) are the dominant CME population during solar minimum. Although they typically slow and lack clear low-coronal signatures, can cause geomagnetic storms. With aid of extrapolated fields remote observations off-limb low corona, we study initiation an SBO-CME preceded by consecutive eruptions consistent with a multi-stage sympathetic breakout scenario. From inner-heliospheric Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations, it is evident that interacting...
Stealth coronal mass ejection (CMEs) are eruptions from the Sun that not associated with appreciable low-coronal signatures. Because they often cannot be linked to a well-defined source region on Sun, analysis of their initial magnetic configuration and eruption dynamics is particularly problematic. In this manuscript, we address issue by undertaking first attempt at predicting fields stealth CME erupted in 2020 June Earth-facing Sun. We estimate its aid off-limb observations secondary...

Magnetic clouds (MCs) are flux-rope magnetic structures forming a subset of solar coronal mass ejections which have significant space weather impacts. The geoeffectiveness MCs depends on their properties evolve during interplanetary passage. Based an analysis observations spanning two cycles we establish that interacting with the ambient wind field (i.e., heliospheric open flux) lose substantial amount initial flux via reconnection, in some cases, reduce geoeffectiveness. We find linear...
Magnetic helicity, an intrinsic property of eruptive helical flux ropes (FRs) forming coronal mass ejections (CMEs), plays important role in determining CME geoeffectiveness. In the solar atmosphere and heliosphere, helicity remains conserved a closed volume. Considering this fact as basis our study, we perform quantitative comparison between total magnetic twisted interplanetary CMEs those transported to via reconnection at low corona. At source, twisted/poloidal (ϕpcme) is directly...
Detecting large-scale flux ropes (FRs) embedded in interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and assessing their geoeffectiveness are essential since they can drive severe space weather. At 1 au, these FRs have an average duration of day. Their most common magnetic features large, smoothly rotating fields. manual detection has become a relatively practice over decades, although visual be time-consuming subject to observer bias. Our study proposes pipeline that utilizes two supervised...

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large eruptions from the Sun that propagate through heliosphere after launch. Observational studies of these transient phenomena usually based on 2D images Sun, corona, and (remote-sensing data), as well magnetic field, plasma, particle samples along a 1D spacecraft trajectory (in-situ data). Given scales involved 3D nature CMEs, such measurements generally insufficient to build comprehensive picture, especially in terms local variations overall geometry...
