Characterization of Coronal and Interplanetary Shocks and Coronal Mass Ejections
1
Characterization of Coronal and Interplanetary Shocks and Coronal Mass Ejections Focused Questions: • What are the plasma parameters (n,T,v, |B|) in the ambient (pre-shocked) corona? • What are the CME conditions that lead to shocks? • What role do shocks play in the production of energetic particles? Observations/Instrumentation: • White light coronagraphy (SOHO/LASCO, MLSO) • UV coronal spectroscopy (SOHO/UVCS, SUMER) • EUV/X-ray solar data (TRACE, GOES, RHESSI, Solar-B) • Solar wind measurements (ACE, WIND, ULYSSES)
