Coronal Mass Ejection
Catalog: M2M_CATALOG
Start Time: 2026-01-18T18:09Z ( STEREO A: SECCHI/COR2 )
All Detecting Spacecrafts:
STEREO A: SECCHI/COR2

Note: Halo CME first seen to the East by STEREO A COR2 beginning at 2026-01-18T18:09Z, as well as by GOES CCOR-1 as a halo in later frames. This CME is not currently visible in SOHO LASCO C2/C3 due to a downlink data gap which began at 2026-01-18T18:00Z. The source of this CME is a long duration X1.9 flare from Active Region 14341 (S15E20), which peaked at 2026-01-18T18:09Z, with some contribution from Active Region 14345 (S16E27). This flare is visible in SDO AIA 94 and 131, along with a wide region of dimming and field line opening seen in SDO AIA 193, 211 and GOES SUVI 284, as well as post eruptive arcades seen in SDO AIA 94 and 193. Ejecta is seen in SDO AIA 193 and, southwardly directed off the limb, in STEREO A EUV 304 imagery.

Prime?"primary flag" which is either True or False. If there are multiple CME analysis entries for a single CME, this flag would indicate which analysis is considered most accurate per measurement type.

CME Analysis M2M_CATALOG LE true SWPC_CAT -22.0 -6.0 1473.0 O 46.0 2026-01-18T20:17Z Approximate analysis based on the fit with all three coronagraphs (SOHO LASCO C2/C3, STEREO A COR2 and GOES CCOR-1) and on the location of the flare, made once SOHO LASCO imagery became available. Analysis is complicated by the CME having two overlapping lobes, one more to the SE and another a bit more central. 1: Result 1 (2.0 AU)

The CME is not yet available because of a scheduled gap in downlink, but will become available later. 1: Result 1 (2.0 AU)
