2. CME
2.1. A. Candidate A
A.1. LASCO:
#CME 2012/07/02 20:24, partial Halo (from CDAW)
angle: 145; velocity: 527 km/s
A.2. STEREO:
Moderate CME in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Frontside moving CME
A.3. AIA & GOES:
Associated with M3.8 class flare from AR 11515 (~S17W01)
A.4. Comment:
Could be the source of disturbance, it is also possible that this CME interacted with the earlier CME (candidate B).
2.1. B. Candidate B
B.1. LASCO:
#CME 2012/07/02 11:24 UT, partial halo (from CDAW)
angle: 125; velocity: 313 km/s
B.2. STEREO:
Moderate CME in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Frontside moving CME
B.3. AIA & GOES:
Associated with M5.6 class flare from AR 11515 (~S17E08)
B.4. Comment:
Could be the source of the disturbance.
2.1. C. Candidate C
C.1. LASCO:
#CME 2012/07/01 15:36 UT (from CDAW)
angle: 135, velocity: 723 km/s
C.2. STEREO:
CME front is not distinguishable in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Front side moving CME.
C.3. AIA & GOES
Eruption from/near AR 11514 (~S18E14), not associated with any major flare
C.4. Comment:
less likely to be related to the disturbance due to the propagation direction of the CME.
2.1. D. Candidate D
D.1. LASCO:
#CME 2012/07/02 06:24 UT, partial halo (from CDAW)
angle: 134; velocity: 988 km/s
D.2. STEREO:
Observed in both COR2-A and COR2-B. CME is fainter in COR2-B. Ejecta is moving westward.
D.3. AIA & GOES:
Filament eruption from ~S19W52, not associated with any major flare.
D.4. Comment:
less likely to be related to the disturbance due to the propagation direction of the CME.
