SHINE 1998 (AR 8210) May Event Homepage

Event Summary:

NOAA AR 8210 was the source of many flares and CMEs, which led several reasearchers to study it, e.g., Sterling & Moore (2001).

SHINE and the MURI teams at Berkeley and Michigan have focused on the 1 May 1998 halo CME that was observed with SoHO's LASCO C2 corongagraph in a difference image at 00:58 UT 02 May, and in a difference movie at 23:56:59, and is associated with an GOES M-class flare near that time.

Reasons for studying this event included its relatively thorough coverage by the University of Hawaii's Mees Solar Observatory's Imaging Vector Magnetograph (IVM) in the hours leading to the eruption, and the availability of space-borne observations of the active region in the days before 1 May 1998, and of the event itself.
