Coronal Mass Ejection
Catalog: M2M_CATALOG
Start Time: 2023-08-18T19:48Z ( SOHO: LASCO/C2 )
All Detecting Spacecrafts:
SOHO: LASCO/C2
SOHO: LASCO/C3
Activity ID: 2023-08-18T19:48:00-CME-001 (version 2)
Source Location: N21W41
Active Region Number: 13409
Note Keyword:
FOV: Front Bright front; may be evidence of pileup
GAP: Data gap
OVR: Event partially overlaps with another CME
Source Signature Keyword:
FLR: Flare
OFL: Moving/Opening field lines
DIM: Dimming
EUVW: EUV Wave
Morphology Keyword:
US: Unknown and Shock Candidate
Note: Bright CME seen to the NW in SOHO LASCO C2 and C3. There is a data gap in STEREO A COR2 imagery for most of this event, it is possibly seen in later COR2A difference imagery frames after the data gap ends at 2023-08-18T23:23Z. The source of this CME is a C3.7 class flare from AR13409 (~N21W41) peaking at 2023-08-18T19:30Z with associated brief dimming to the NW of the AR starting around 2023-08-18T19:24Z, best seen in SDO/AIA 193. There is also very quick moving/opening field lines around the same time in SDO/AIA 193 to the NW. Additionally, an EUV wave is visible along the NW limb in GOES SUVI 284 starting around 2023-08-18T19:27Z. This CME ends up being overtaken by the CME first seen at 2023-08-18T22:00Z in SOHO LASCO C2 following the same path as this CME.

CME Analysis M2M_CATALOG LE true SWPC_CAT 41.0 21.0 505.0 C 31.0 2023-08-19T02:25Z These parameters are based off of the potential source location of AR13409. The front of the CME has a slightly irregular shape which impacted the ability to get a good fit with the lemniscate shape. Additionally, the CME starting at 2023-08-18T22:00Z overlaps this CME in later frames, making it difficult to track the front further out in the C3 field of view. 1: Result 1 (2.0 AU)
